Winston tried to rescue his family from a wasp last night by doing what beagles do best. Eating it!.
It resulted in a nice fat lip. (i'm just gonna hope this photo works)

Poor Winston... I hope it's not too painful for him. Have you checked with the vet that it's not dangerous?

Awwww, poor Winston! That looks like it hurts! Some benadryl might help. I think dosage for dogs is on the Health board - under (of all things), Pepto Bismol - has lots of info in post. Good idea to check with the vet tho.

Awww poor thing. I bet all he can eat is Limp Bizkit.

Oh, poor baby!! Does it hurt? Can he eat? I feel so bad for him--there he was, protecting his family and look what happened to him!! Hope the swelling goes down soon and he's okay.

ah poor guy. I would just keep an eye on him for a little bit mkae sure he's not lethargic or anything. Im sure he'll be fine. The same thing happened to Max a bee came close to me and one chomp from max and it was gone but not before stinging him, and im pretty sure he got stung a few times. He just made a funny noise and tried to paw at his mouth. He seemed a little irritated for the night but was fine.

Poor Winston!

Let us know how he is doing.

Poor thing!! Daisy got into ants in our backyard one time and her lips swelled up. If I remember we gave her a little bit of an antihistamine and she was fine.

 

[Murphys Dad]

Oh, bless him! I hope the swelling has gone down by now.

My first thought last night (after I figured out that he hadn't just gained a lot of wait since noon

) was

get on Beagleworld, the answer will be there but sadly my internet was out until this AM.

We watched him like a hawk last night, I wasn't prepared to pay after hours vet fees when he has an appt for Saturday.
By midnight the less affected side had gone down quite a bit and he never did seemed bothered by it, other than not being able to grab onto toys very well. Eating was a challenge, but when did that ever stop a beagle.
By this AM the swelling had gone down almost 100%, except for a small area, where the stinging probably happened. Now you can't even tell.
I'll still have the vet take a peek tomorrow at his appt.
Thankfully it wasn't any worse, and after I knew he was okay, I was able to laugh about it.
