Wasp sting photo


Slept through to 8 in the morning..

Last night she was biting as per normal, but with a little less intensity.  We tried the pin technique when she was going a little crazy and held her for 1 minute and then ignored her once released.  The seemed to calm her down and stop her biting peoples feet 8).

Stung by a Wasp

Well she has only been with us for 3 days and the poor little thing got stung by a wasp!!  A whimper and a little limp confirmed she was stung and we found a tiny little wasp in our living room.

Jen was upset and worried, but I tended with some icecubes on her paw to see if that calmed it down while we frantically searched on Google for the answers.  No sooner had we found some of the remedies Jen wanted to take her to the Vets.

The Vet actually found the stinger still in her fur on top of her paw (I thought it was her pad).  So the Vet removed the stinger and she is no on a dose of steroids and antihistamines.  (Poor little thing).

4 days course....

Week 2

Pepper is being a little nipper!! Seriously!  The biting ranges from soft mouthing right up to a nice full on bite although not so bad as in any cuts.

New method is to tap her month and move away.  No more playtime until you settle down.  Also we tried the pinning technique, but I am not sure I like doing that.
