At first, I googled, but found holistic doggie heath sites, that offered no information.

I knew FReepers could, and would help.
Thank you all so much!

Hair of the dog, thanks so much for the emergency ping.

Due to his thick hair, I don’t think the bees stung him as much as they could have.

He was full of bees when he came in, and a few minutes later, I found him standing in the bath tub.
This from a dog that hates a bath.

I started the shower, and the bees started falling from his fur; my son valiantly crushed each one. :-)

Thank you so much, everyone who took the time to help.

I have a picture of the bee, or whatever it was, to post, but I am waiting for my camera to recharge.

Again, thanks everyone!

Well, I’ve been through it a few times with dogs, I had a cocker who liked to eat bees and her whole face would swell up, and she was only 20 pounds. I would give her up to four benadryl. Only once did she really need veterinary assistance and that was because I think she got stung in the throat and was having a hard time breathing. They can give a shot of antihistamine in that case, that acts quicker.

my hubby thinks I’m over reacting.

Show him what over reacting really is. ;) Glad you pup seems ok.
