I gave Squir .4 ml of children's Benadryl and the swelling in his face has gone down tremendously...I had him in a tub with blanket and t-shirt because I don't care him and his main nest is on top of the kitchen cabinets and I didn't want him to fast and I wanted to be able to comfort him and monitor his condition...his arm is still pretty huge but it is at least somewhat smaller he ate some avacado and oatmeal raisin cookie. Once his swelling went down some he climbed up to his regular nest so. Going to put necessities rite up there with him and stay near him all day to make sure he doesn't fall as he cannot use his arm at all and to make sure he doesn't start going down hill...is there anything I can put on the sting itself? Are there stingers that must b removed??? I got stung bay at least 50 bees no bs in the process of saving my baby and cannot even close my hands what is the next step for should take to make him as comfortable as possible and help him recover...please pray for him...his name is Squir but I also call him trusty tree squirrel.

He can have the children's benadryl every 8 hours if he needs it. Did someone dose this for you? It looks pretty close. It is good that the swelling is starting to go down. If he is in exreme discomfort, he can have infant ibuprophen. Do you know his weight?
