Bee sting - how do I remove?

[bochead]

Our cat's got a bee sting on his tail. Anyone know the best way to remove it as I can't take him to the vet till tomorrow & the poor thing is in pain. Or any tips for alleviating the pain till tomorrow morning?

Boc, I found this www.wikihow.com/Treat-a-Bee-Sting-to-a-Cat Hope that DCat will be OK.

Apparently, if you take the sting out carefully with tweezers, it comes out intact and the venom doesn't go into the 'stingee' iyswim.

I know on fur-free human skin..you scrape it with a credit card or in my case my TMobile top up card

Bicarbonate of soda on the bee sting site after you have flicked sting out.

I know this cuz thats what I do when I get stung by the bastard things.
