Actions to Take When Your Dog Has Been Stung by a Bee


Bee stings can create the same chain of reactions in humans and dogs alike. Having said that, bee sting problems, as well as complications, can be mitigated if you have the proper knowledge in terms of getting rid of the bee sting and attending to the concerned area. 

If a dog has been stung by a bee, he or she can show symptoms such as puffiness in the face, lips, eyes, as well as lumpiness of the skin around the area where the dog has been stung. You need to carefully remove the bee sting, then bathe the affected area with cold water. In the meantime, you need to restrict your dog from moving (keep him in a crate, etc.) to reduce the blood supply flowing to the affected area and thereby reduce the swelling and pain. Like some people stung by a bee, a dog can develop a serious allergic reaction to the bee sting and therefore can be fatal. 

Watch out for symptoms like severe neck or face swelling, collapse, excessive salivation, or breathing difficulty. Bring your dog to the nearest best veterinary hospital Gresham, OR as soon as you can.
