Dogs will not recover from bee stings. After most dogs are stung by bees, they usually develop large swellings. If some proactive measures are not taken, inflammation, infection and ulceration of the swelling area may occur. You need to help the dog pull out the bee sting to prevent the dog’s symptoms from becoming serious.

How to deal with a dog stung by a bee:

1. Remove the stinger. Generally, the remaining bee sting is in the center of the red and swollen bump. Use tweezers to carefully pull it out. Do not squeeze the stung area, which may cause the needle to squeeze deeper into the skin and cause the release of toxins.

2. Treat the wound. After the bee sting is pulled out, you can wash the stung area with soapy water. After cleaning, applying ice to the stung area can help calm and reduce swelling and relieve pain.

3. Prevent scratching and biting. If the bite site is red, swollen, and painful, the dog will want to scratch, lick, and bite. You must wear an Elizabethan collar in time to prevent them from scratching and biting the wound and aggravating the infection.

4. Observe closely. Within 24 hours of being bitten, close observation is required. If the dog shows symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, severe redness and swelling, increased heart rate, shortness of breath, etc., seek medical attention immediately to avoid serious symptoms such as anaphylactic shock or urticaria.
