Sure enough, those bees built an underground nest and were attacking the water hose. We called Em back over to check on her, she seemed fine and was just rubbing her nose and biting her leg so we figured she'd gotten stung. Matt and I both went on about our chores and about 30 minutes later, I noticed that Emma's nose was swollen!!! Poor girl!
I'm not sure you can really tell in this photo, I know I can but I also know what I'm looking for. So look at her nose then go back about an inch or two, and it's the slightly darker and round area on her nose. It was puffed up about an inch or so and she kept rubbing her paw over it. I felt so bad for her.
We didn't give her any medicine but I did sit in my red chair and cuddle with her while watching "Scrubs" and icing her nose with a frozen water bottle.
I think the icing really helped a lot with the swelling. So watch out for those bees not just for yourself but for your furbabies too!

Poor baby...that just makes me hurt too:(
Spencer LOVES eating anything that flies. Luckily we have never noticed him getting stung, but I always panic when he tries to eat bees!
Aw, poor dog! I would've been freaked out! I also think it's adorable that you rocked her and iced the sting...definitely something I would've done. :)
:o( Poor sweetie!! I had a dog once that tried to eat a bee and it stung the inside of her mouth. Turned out she was really allergic and had to get a shot. No fun. Glad your girl is doing better!
I wonder if it was Yellow jackets, they bite not sting. And the build their nests in ground. I once got bit over 30 times by a hive because I stepped on it. Poor puppy! Hope he is feeling better!
Aww poor thing.
The wasps here are vicious as well. We finally decided to get rid of our wooden deck and brick the back porch in when the twins were born--it was just a never ending battle with hornets and their hidden nests.
