7. How terrifying!

I am glad to hear that she is ok, but that must have been a horrible few days for you, and for her.

I don't know if this helps with dogs, but I lived with a guy who was really allergic to bees, and when he got bit, he would eat a big spoonful of sugar right away, then get to the hospital.....I guess that the sugar helped to keep the swelling from progressing too quickly. I don't understand what it did, or why it helped, but he knew to do it from prior experiences.

Glad that she is fine now and the bees are gone.
