The best thing to do for insect bite hypersensitivity is to take it to your veterinarian. They can use injectable medication--Benadryl and steroids--to immediately have an effect on the swelling.
The most serious reaction-anaphylactic shock occurs very shortly after being stung. This is a life threatening condition and needs immediate treatment. Dogs will collapse, become weak, vomit, and their gum color becomes gray or white.
You can start Benadryl at home. The dose is 1 milligram per pound of body weight give by mouth three times a day. You can do this for the next 2-3 days. Do not use the Cold and Sinus variety.
Poisonous snake bites should always be treated as an emergency and the dog should be taken to a veterinary clinic.
