I found a very sleepy wasp in the guinea shed this morning (its now no longer sleepy ) Anyway had me thinking, is it dangerous if a guinea is stung by a wasp? I know with humans, unless they have an allergy to them, its just painful. Guineas are obviously a lot smaller than us so I was just wondering what the impact is, particularly at this time of year when one could I guess, get into their bedding quite easily. Interested to know your thoughts?

I would take to the vet as an emergency, pain in guineas (and wasp stings are really painful) isn't good. If possible locate where the sting entered and remove it.
They are also irriatable long after the sting has been removed and need to be monitored.
