Keep benadryl handy, and keep the dogs (or pups) on a heavy dose of it until the swelling starts to go back down. My German Shorthair got bit for the first time last Friday. She weighs 60lbs and i gave her 4 pills every 4 to 6 hours for the first 2 days, then 3 pills every 4 to 6 hours for another day. Then 2 pills every 4 to 6 hours. She is almost back to abnormal now with loose floppy skin around her neck. Another dog was bit at the same time, it was his second time being bit. He only weighs 52lbs and i started him out with 3 pills every 4 to 6 hours. He has a hole in the side of his face where he was bit and has a little swelling around the bite area.
Hope this benadryl trick helps someone “down the road” , i haven’t lost a dog since i started using benadryl, carry it with you in snake country.
