By the time it took to post this and receive answers, a responsible pet owner should have figured out the need to bring your animal to a vet.
So anyone who lives more than 3 minutes from their vet is an irresponsible pet owner?
Many FReepers live WAY out in the sticks, FRiend. We’re talking HOURS of travel to get to any semblance of civilization or medical aid.
Rather than ASSume that everyone lives within a 3 minute walk to their vet (anything further being “irresponsible” according to what has been posted by someone here), why not offer some relevant advice, or even simple support, as opposed to the unwarranted and insulting lecture given?
Fanfan: Just so you know, my 25 pound pekepom/sheltie routinely gets stung while eating wasps and yellow jackets. He’s fine, even after repeated stings.
His “mentor” regarding flying critters was a lab/whippet/pitbull who at the age of 4 months fell into a wasps’ nest and was stung literally hundreds of times. She survived to eat double her weight in those things, and though she’s been gone 6 years now, her protege’ still honours her memory daily during bug season.
God Bless, and take care.
