Some here may remember that Leo was attacked by wasps during the summer. This time, it was Lily's turn -- she just started howling while on a walk along the creek and right away I knew what it would be and started hunting for wasps -- removed several from her where they will burrow down into her fur and sting repeatedly.
This time though I had Bendadryl in pill form in the house so was able to bring her home and give her the correct dosage of that to be safe, and then also an aspirin an the appropriate dose. She's clearly uncomfortable and keeps shifting around but was happy to have a piece of tripe so all can't be that bad.
I'll be glad for one thing when the weather gets colder and that is that the wasps won't be around.
I don't think she actually stirred them up; the dogs were joined by this huge Rhodesian mix who has always just loved my dogs. He's a big galumph and tries to play with them and smashes his way through everything so I imagine he probably disturbed them rather than Lily.
