The husband and I planned on having a date night tonight (dinner and a movie).  I got home before him and so I was in the bedroom getting ready when I heard Fatboy sneezing and gagging in the living room.  I went to check on him; he looked confused and couldn't stop the sneezing/gagging.  Then I saw a bee crawling on the floor trying to get away.  I freaked out and ran into the kitchen for the benedryl.  His face did start to swell a little but I was able to give him one.  When I noticed swelling in his face I really freaked out.  I called the husband, told him to hurry home, searched Fatboy for a stinger; nothing.

When my husband got home he took a look at the bee (I smashed it with rage and fury for hurting my Fattie) and saw the stinger.  Again I looked all over his body and inside his mouth; nothing.  No sting or anything.  We thought he started doing better as far as breathing but then his breathing got worse.  Luckily we live two blocks away from a vet's office and took him right in.  They gave him a steroid shot, some extra benedryl (the kind I had was only 25 mg and he only received one pill). 

So all in all we waited about an hour because they wanted to keep an eye on him.  He's doing ok now but they did say to watch for any possible delayed reactions.  I didn't know a delayed reacton from a bee sting was possible.  Anyhow what a scary ordeal.
