I think Tomie was stung by a wasp today while grazing outside... she was in her little run when she suddenly made a huge jump and ran around, really agitated and upset, shaking her head and scratching at herself with both back feet. When I went over to check on her, there was a small wasp in the grass there! It's been several hours and she is behaving normally, I keep going over her trying to figure out where she was stung but I can't feel any lumps or bumps anywhere. Anything I should be on the lookout for? I'm assuming if she was going to react dramatically it would have happened a lot earlier, but I'm wary of her waking up tomorrow with a huge swollen lip or paw or something like that!
 
Oh! I’ve no idea but hope she is okay! I guess just keep an eye on her and have her seen if she stays acting out of the ordinary.
 
She seems fine today... still can't find any bumps. No idea where it got her!
 
I'm sorry, Tomie had a nasty interaction with a wasp. That's something I'm always afraid of, when the piggies are outdoors, but luckily it hasn't happened yet. (I hope it stays this way.)

But I think that there shouldn't be any bad consequence if you still don't see anything.
