My dog was stung and is vomiting. What should I do if far from vet?

Question

Hi my dog was stung by what I think was a bee, her face is swollen. I'm am just a bit concerned that it might be a scorpion as she is vomiting, the swelling has gone down though. She was stung about 5hours ago, we are 3hours away from the nearest vet. Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Female | unspayed | 13 lbs

I am sorry to hear Madison is not feeling well. Insect stings can cause anaphylaxis just like in people. It is a good sign the facial swelling is going down and you can administer an over the counter antihistamine. However, if the vomiting does not stop I would recommend taking her to a vet for medications to stop the vomiting. I would be concerned that she might become dehydrated. Also, you can feed a bland diet to help her rest her stomach.
