Gill, I hope you get better soon, especially when you need your hands to work Confused

Horrible insects. Alan went and found a nest in the meadow and sorted it out. Same, it seems to attact the dogs, Athos has been stung by one but just a swollen muzzle.
Hope you feel better soon... Wink

Meant to add earlier .... Homeopathic Apis Mel 6c given immediately 1 pillule then hourly for the next 4 hours then four times a day if needed helped Freddy when he was stung after putting his clumsy welsh foot in a wasps nest Shocked

. Apis is derived from bee sting but seemed to help Freddy too with what were definitely wasps.

I am totally sceptical about homeopathy having a 'conventional' health background BUT whenever I have tried stuff on the dogs it has seemed to help and certainly hasn't hindered.

Glad the ice helped Gill and hope any lingering problems soon resolve.

Thanks all for your lovely advice and kind words, we are all better now, except Mabeleen still had a bit of a small eye at Leeds on Saturday. No one noticed including the judge.
The group judge did his usual and made me feel invisable. I stayed in my van on the show ground the night before as I usual do, but this time I had both the Mabeleen and my Setter dog. Mabaleen tryed to strangle me as she didn't want the Setter near me and sleeping with him was like sleeping with a huge spider Ha Ha. Still they both won so I went home very tired and happy!
