My eight week old puppy picked up a wasp in her mouth - we pulled it out immediately and have been watching her for swelling but an hour has passed and she is normal still. How long would an allergic reaction take to show up and when can we be okay with leaving her alone not under observatiob?

Allergic reactions typically present signs within 15-30 minutes. Since an hour has passed with no indication of a reaction, that is a very good sign. I would say that if by the completion of the second hour, your pup is still normal, you are likely safe. It is great that you are taking such good care of her. Frenchies are the cutest!!
