My husband went home on his lunch break to take Effie outside. He just called to tell me that she ate a wasp!! I am totally freaking out!! He said she must have swallowed it whole, because as soon as he saw her grab it, he ran up to her and opened her mouth to pull it out, but she had already swallowed it. He's been home for an hour now, and he's been checking her tongue, and looking for signs of swelling or allergic reaction. So far, nothing. I am hoping that maybe her drool saturated it and it didn't have a change to sting her before she swallowed it. But, I also worry it could have stung inside her throat or anywhere on the way down....ugh...she stresses me out.
Has anyone ever had this happen? Should we just keep looking for signs of swelling and/or difficulty breathing? We would definitely administer Benadryl and take her to the vet at that point. My husband said right now she is acting totally normal, and no signs of swelling. If she was going to react, how long would it normally take?
