Why would you give penicillin for a bee sting? That is for infections.
Give your dog one tablet of benedryl now and you can give another one 12 hours from now.
That should stop any allergic reaction to the sting.
You coule use an ice compress if he/she has a lot of swelling on the area but only if the dog will let you hold it htere for a few mintues at a time.

Benadryl is the best thing to give a dog for a bee sting. What size is your dog? That will determine how much to give him/her. You can also put benadrly cream or neosporin on the bite itself to help reduce swelling and itching.
Watch your dog closely and make sure that there is no swelling to the face. If so, you need to take it to a vet.

You need to get your dog to the vet. If it is not healing the vet can prescribe the medication it needs to heal properly. Never give your pet human medication without a vets recommendation as you can do more harm than good.

Take the dog to the vet. It's never safe to give a dog human medicine unless directed by a vet. I would advice take her to the vet ASAP she sounds like she's having a bad reaction, don't mess with it yourself let the vet take care of it.

Just make sure the stinger is out. Don't worry about it. She just might be allergic to the bee sting. Don't ever give Human medicine to a animal. You are probally more worried about her
stings than she is. You can alway's go to the vet. There is emergency one's on Sunday, but they are expensive
good luck.

The vet is the best answer. if you give the dog that pill it has a 99.99% chance of dieing. the dog will get a prescription from the vet you will find the medicine and give it that and only that plus food and water and that stuff!LOL

No on the penicillin, the best thing is to pull the stinger out with tweezers and if you can't, take it to the vet you don't know if the dog is allergic it could die.

I'd call a vet and ask their opinion before giving any kind of people's medication to your dog... some people are allergic to penicillin (like me), and you could kill your dog if it had a bad allergic reaction to it...
