Dog stung by bee?

[distortion9]

This afternoon, my pooch ate a carpenter bee/bumble bee. Kinda chewed it and spit it out (this is normal and happens all the time). A few minutes later she threw up and we hung around just to monitor her and everything seemed cool. Went out to a BBQ and when we came home, her "snout" is all swollen but she seems fine otherwise. Checked for bee stinger in her mouth but nothing.

Other than just keeping an eye on her, is there anything else I can do? Like I said, she seems fine but, I'd hate to think she's in pain or that this might be something that I should be concerned about.

Not much one can do. Monitor for respiratory distress and sudden flare up of the affected area. Make sure you know where the nearest emergency animal hospital is and the route.

If you have benadryl tablets, you can administer some, but I don't know the dosing for a dog. You could likely get away with about 1/4 of a 25mg tablet, but the dog is gonna sleep and be groggy the next day. I would just wait.

Thanks SK.....I'll hold off on dosing her and just keep an eye on her. She seems fine but, she's freakishly "puffy" around her snout and I feel awful for her.

Just in case, there is an emergency animal hospital on Sunrise, North side, somewhere east of us. It's nearby, but can't remember the exact location.

benadryl works differently in dogs, depending on the weight, the dosage is 1mg per lb, also it wont make her groggy but it will take care of any swelling, my dog gets 3 25mg pills 3x a day. thats a tad heavy but he's got lots of cancer lumps that react positively when we medicate him

Again, thank's guys. Pretty sure all is cool, she's acting like her nutty self, just playin it safe.

Both of my dogs eat bees all the time, I hear the crunch of the bees being chewed up and swallowed and it has yet to hurt them, I think your dog will be fine.

Dogs with bees in their mouth? Throw in a robotic Richard Simmons and you have something.

if your dog didn't die on the spot, it'll be fine. If you do notice that it has some swelling that you are concerned about cut a baby tylenol in quarters, and give one to it. Benadryl I wouldn't recommend due to the the fact that unless your dog weighs over 100lbs, the benadryl could cause more problems than good with it's heart and the venom. And if it got stung by a wasp or bumblebee there won't be a stinger left behind, they have smooth stingers, that's how they sting multiple times/.

Talk to your vet.

The dog we had when I was a kid would eat WASPS out of the air. He was fucking nuts.

My dog becomes a damn zombie when I give him Benadryl. I sometimes give it to him for no good reason just to fuck with him. Dogs look funny when they sleep with their eyes open

Wrong, there is something called an "anaphylactoid" reaction. Not all reactions are anaphylaxis, which is why I recommended d9 continue watching the dog, in addition to comforting her with liberal rim jobs and cunnilingous.

Doggie is all cool...though she did wake me up at 2:30 a.m. jingle jangeling around the house....just wanted to go outside and fuck around. Snout's back to normal, swelling is gone...cool.

Thank's again.

sorry, give the dog an hour, if it's not dead it's fine. Anaphylaxtic shock sets in rather quickly, trust me, this I know. you know something I don't, but this I know.

I sound like an ass there, what I meant to say is I've dealt with anahylaxis due to a bee sting before, so I know what to expect from both dogs and people.

[sknight]

and again, there's something called Anaphylactoid reactions you're carefully omitting in your responses.

My old dog used to do that. Was scared of flies to the point of wimmpering, but bees and wasps he used to chase and eat everyweek his tounge was all swollen from sings.
