My 7 pound Yorkshire terrier was stung bye a bee last night on the leg. He is about 2 years old. He is favoring his leg a little and is shaking uncontrolably. I can't find anything on the internet about these symptoms so i need help and tips about what to do. Please help me, I have already lost two dogs in the past and I can't bear to lose anouther. Help me please!

The vet can take care of this rather quickly, but your dog can die if he is allergic to bee or wasp stings (I dont mean to scare you, but if your dog has never been stung before you dont want to find out if there is an allergy the hard way). Otherwise your dog will get a shot and be on Benadryl for a couple days.

1. Take your dog to the vet
2. Ask vet how much Benedryl to use for a 7 lb. dog.

The benedryl dose is 1mg per lb of the animal. You can also try to hot pack the area.

Benadryl works great just call the vet and ask how much and how often you should give him Benadryl.
