Hope your dog is ok after being stung by the hornet. When I was very little our house was infested with hornets and my parents would get their friends round to form a hornet killing brigade. I found it really upsetting and wanted to start a hornet hospital, I drew lots of pictures of how I was going to tend for the hornets and everything. A couple of years later, we'd finally killed all the hornets but I was visiting my cousin and got stung by a hornet there! I couldn't get the sting out and still have a lump on my hand 25+ years later. #csb

She is fine now. But we have a proper nighttime curfew here, trying to have as few lights on as possible to not attract the hornets to windows and doors and being super careful letting the dogs out for a pee before bedtime. I might as well have an ankle tag as I am not risking venturing outside after dark.
Our bitch trod on a hornet last night. Poor little thing was in agony and had no idea what had happened. My wife went into a panic calling the vet etc while I stayed relatively calm and googled what to do. Dog was given metacam and piriton for pain and antihistamine. She has a club foot this morning but is otherwise fine. Given I get anaphylaxis from wasps I’d assume the same for hornets. So I am currently fucking terrified of going outside- last night we had multiple stripey fuckers dive bombing the windows of the house.
But I have yet to keep eyesight on one when it returns to the nest.
