Get your dog to a vet now! Dogs are inquisitive and may get more than one sting during months to years. A Scorpion sting can make a dog extremely ill and in some cases cause death. While at the vets go over a plan of action for the future and see if the vet has an anti-venom kit for future use on your dog. SYMPTOMS: * Panting or breathing problems * Dilated pupils (the black spot in the middle of the eye is very small and not it's normal size.) * Drooling * Muscle Tremors (shivering, etc.) Scorpions are injurious to people as well. It's always wise to check out dog bowls (water/food dishes) before feeding your dog as well as dog houses, dog cushions and porches. Humans as well should shake their shoes, slippers, boots and clothing before putting it on. If you live in scorpion country, you should be vigilant - both for your own safety and for the safety of your dog and other pets.

Take the dog to the vet and they'll suck the venom out.

If you suspect your dog has been stung by a scorpion, you should contact your vet immediately. He or she can tell you the best course of action you need to take.

I would go see a veterinarian immediately. I would also stop taking my dog to places with scorpions, if possible.
