This morning I think Holly was stung by a bee on her right front paw (she's a right rear amp).  She came in limping and holding her paw at an odd angle, and I found a yellow jacket on that leg.  I called the vet and left a message (it was only about 20 minutes until they open, and he often is there early).  He called back and we discussed what I was seeing and he said to ice it, and that the piroxicam she's on for her metronomics would help as an anti-inflamatory.  After about an hour she seemed fine - we took a short walk this afternoon, she ate her meals today - nothing odd.  But tonight she's been licking her paw a ton, and when I looked her nails on that paw are really pale (she has black nails usually).  She was panting, and seemed really uncomfortable so I gave her some Tramadol since my vet had told me that is ok to use if she's in pain since it's compatible with the other meds she's on for metronomics .  She's laying in bed with me and has just settled down to sleep - finally stopped panting and worrying/licking that paw.  I'll call the vet in the morning, but in the meantime Holly would appreciate any pawsitive, healing thoughts that anyone can send her way.  I'll send an update once I know anymore.

Thanks,

Holly and Susan
