That is where I took Beau to their office near the CR466 Walmart. I was just very lucky to have my wallet with me. I was in the golf cart.

Not sure what stung him. He refused to walk on that leg until after he got out of the Buffalo Ridge Animal Hospital. And his back left paw was quite red and twice its normal size. He was not whimpering though. He might have been in shock, however.
