Ants!

Scottiemom..We took the girls out for their walk tonight. We just arrived in our park two days ago. We noticed ants on us the other night after we went down to the grassy patch. It rained really hard this evening, so we didn't think about ants being there then. We started back and Butterscotch just sat down and wouldn't move. DH thought she had a sticker in her paw so I went back to help. When I put my flashlight on her foot, she was covered in ants. They do not appear to be fireants, but they bit anyway. We took her directly over to a mud puddle and I put her paws in it and splash it on the ants.....hered right now. I hate to do something that would stress her more.I don't have any benadryl on hand. I could go get some.Any other suggestions?

Wow, that had to be a bad experience for your dog.

Don't know were you are staying but here in Florida they have a small ant that is not a fire ant but gets on dogs and bites like crazy too.

Best thing you did was give the Benadryl.
I found 'liquid Children's Benadryl' to work the best for bites and stings. Starts working quickly for bad bits and stings.

Ask "YOUR" vet how to brake down the dosage for your dog. I give 2.5 ml per 14 lbs.

Warning though, do NOT use any generic children's brand only the Children's Benadryl brand. Some of the generic brands contain xylitol which can be deadly to dogs.

Kudos, Your fast thinking saved her from having a bad reaction. :C
