Yes, a childrens Benedryl is safe to give. But the dog should be taken to a veterinarian if there is swelling, the dog is lethargic, painful, not wanting to eat or drink, or if the stinger is still embedded.

I cannot say yes or no for sure, but I remember when my purebred Australian Keplie pup swallowed a live bee, it stung her on the insides. I rang the vet, and they said it was fine to give her "human" medicines for bee stings. And it was; it worked great! But i advise you ask your vet of this is okay.

What are the symptoms of bites and stings on pets?

Depending on what has stung/bitten your pet; the most common symptom is swelling of the area. I have a dog that is allergic to bee and wasp stings, she has had her whole muzzle swell up and vomited after being stung. The vet treated her with injectable Benadryl and a steroid; she was fine after a couple hours. Poisonous snakes can also cause swelling, to be safe take your pet to the veterinarian if you're not sure! If that is not an option search online for a proper dosage of Benadryl oral solution (available at most stores), but that will not work for snake bites! (Most cities have an emergency vet)
