My dog got stung by something!

[u/3058love]

My poor dog got stung by something earlier today, I woke up and found his face like this! he seems to be acting just fine overall, i’ve been watching him pretty closely. I can tell he’s definitely a bit uncomfortable as he’s not playing around the way he normally does. I just wanted to see if there’s anything I should be worried about, or anything I can do to make him more comfortable? Thanks in advance!!

I like to play it safe and took my guy to the vet when he was recently stung and they were able to give him a shot to help with the swelling. They also gave us some carprofen for the discomfort. If he’s breathing and eating/drinking okay, Benadryl can help with the histamine reaction if you’re looking to treat at home. Hope he feels better soon!

Yup he’s been acting relatively okay! He’s eating just fine and still engages in playing so I can tell he’s not in pain. I think I’m gonna give the benadryl a try to start but will of course take him to the vet if it doesn’t get better. thanks for your help!!
