Advice please, possible wasp sting in mouth

[lesley3165]

I have just been playing ball with Meg on the garden and when we'd finished she started nibbling some grass. She suddenly started coughing and we thought she had a bit caught when suddenly out dropped a wasp! She seems fine and is now chewing a chew but should I give her piriton in case it has stung her throat? It was about 10 minutes ago would I know by now if it had stung her? My nephew said that was causing her to cough as it was tickling her mouth

I would dab some vinegar on it first if you can and, if you are not sure if she was stung or not, just keep a close eye on her for any swelling etc.  If you think she has been stung, then you can give her a child's dose of Piriton (needs to be the drowsy one, not the non drowsy    )

Hope she is OK.

Thank you joules, I'm keeping a close eye on her, she seems to be okay as she is still chewing but piriton is at the ready just in case.

Brodie decided to try and eat a wasp last week . She was in a lot of pain, poor girl. I gave her a piriton immediately (these were from the vet) and then on advice from Facebook took her collar off (in case she did take a reaction) and gave her ice cubes. The ice cubes really did help a lot. I couldn't find where she was stung in her mouth (I suspect it was more than once) but if I had and it was accessible I would have applied vinegar

Here's hoping it's cured her of her habit of chasing bees and wasps

Hope Meg is ok, and any pain soon goes away

Thank you joules and jennybee, It appears the wasp did indeed just tickle her mouth and didn't sting her, a lucky escape I think!

Great news!
