Is there an Epipen for small dogs?

I have a 5 lb,5 month old maltese who is deathly allergic to bee stings.She was recently stung on the lip and within a few minutes went into anaphylactic shock and almost died before I could get her to the vet. I've been told that she is too small for a junior epipen. Does anyone know any different? Thanks

There are epipens out there for all ages, inluding infants. Get with you Vet, if they can't help find another vet.

Contact a veterinarian. EpiPens are not to be toyed with. They can kill if used incorrectly.
