When your pup’s paws, nose or any other part of her body comes into contact with a bee that stings, it’s as painful to her as it would be to you. Sodium Hydrogen Carbonate (Sodium Bicarbonate) can help take the sting away by creating a paste with a little water.

FOR SIGNS OF A DOG BEE STING, SEE BELOW:

  • Swelling of the face or muzzle
  • Thickening ear flaps
  • Hives

MORE SERIOUS REACTIONS AFTER A DOG BEE STING MAY ALSO OCCUR. THESE REQUIRE IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ASSISTANCE:

  • collapsing
  • trembling
  • weakness
  • disorientation
  • pale gums
  • quickened breathing
  • vomiting
  • agitation
  • excessive drooling
  • diarrhoea

If you see that your dog has been stung by a bee, gently remove the stinger. This will stop additional venom from entering your dog’s system. Then, wash the area down with mild soap and water. PLEASE NOTE: SEEK MEDICAL ADVICE FOR REMOVING THE BEE STING TO AVOID HURTING YOUR DOG.

BELOW SHOWS SEVERAL REMEDIES THAT CAN HELP EASE THE PAIN:
