Any advice?#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

One of my horses has been stung on the upper lip by a wasp. It is not
pretty (like a big bad plastic surgery kind) butsn't look to dramatic
in the sense that she lets me touch it, she hasn't lost her appetite,
nor has temperature.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#
Nevertheless I would know if you have any advice on what to do or not to do to help getting the swelling down.#ed_op#br#ed_cl#

#ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#I would not be too worried as long as she is not in distress or having a severe reaction.  Ideally you would want to put a cold compress on the area but good luck.  I think the little girl will live!!!#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

If she doesn't seem to be bothered by it, and it doesn't look infected, I wouldn't worry about it.
