My dog was stung by a bee, licking, and won't walk. How can I help?

Question

My morkie just got stung by a bee. I removed the stinger and he is still licking where he was stung and won’t walk in that leg. He hasn’t thrown up and it isn’t swollen. Is there anything we can do to help him? Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Small (up to 22lb) | Male | neutered | 5 years old | 11 lbs

If there is no swelling and if your dog does not experience any vomiting or trouble breathing, the discomfort should go away soon by itself. If Charlie keeps licking the area you can give him 1/2 a children's Benadryl which should take the itch.
