We all love our dogs very much, and chances are we love our dogs more than our human friends. But no matter how watchful we are over our dogs, there’s always a chance of something unexpected happening.
In this case, that unexpected thing is a small, black and yellow flying thingy that makes buzzing sounds. Puppies and young dogs are intrigued by the movement and the sound, and they love exploring, just like kids.
Sometimes people make jokes that dogs think bees are spicy sky raisins, because sometimes the best thing you can do when it comes to dogs and bees is have a giggle.
That is because dogs explore with their nose and mouth, and that’s not very smart when bees and wasps are involved. We have compiled a list of the cutest photos of dogs who encountered wasps and bees.
We know that it’s not nice to laugh at someone else’s misfortune. But we can’t help it – the dogs and puppies look so adorable despite their shame.
If you notice your dog is having a hard time breathing, has a swollen throat and mouth, or has fainted, you should immediately contact your vet! This is a medical emergency and should be treated as such. Better safe than sorry.
Blue Cross emphasizes that some pooches can be allergic to wasp and bee stings, and their owners should keep an eye for indications of an allergic reaction, swelling, and difficulty breathing being the most obvious. If an insect somehow finds its way inside your dog's mouth, there's an increased danger of swelling that can block the airways.
Don't try to give your pooch antihistamines intended for humans without checking with your vet. Some human medications can make the situation worse.
Most insect stings will cause pain or irritation, but too many stings can even cause death. If you see that you have the situation under control, you can try scraping or pulling out the sting with something flat like a credit card.
Do not squeeze the sting because that might actually push more poison into the wound. After that, clean the affected area with water and apply ice.
