With the arrival of good weather, many plants flourish. At the same time, in the fields, in the gardens, and in all places where there are plants, there will also begin to be pollinating insects, such as wasps and bees. Nature is very beautiful, but if one of those insects bites our dog ... it can cause you a serious problem.

If that is the case with your dog, then we will tell you what to do if my dog ​​gets stung by a bee.

Female bees are the only ones that can sting, and after doing so, they die soon after. They leave the stinger stuck in the wound, which can be removed with the help of a credit card or similar and a lot of patience. It should never be removed with tweezers, since doing so would cause a greater expulsion of the poison. After removing the stinger, you should wash the area without rubbing with soap and water neutral for dogs, or with a natural one of Aloe vera, which will also help the wound heal faster.

Normally, after the insect has bitten the dog, nothing serious will happen. The only thing that the dog can feel is a little pain, and present the inflamed area surrounded by a red circle. Now, there are dogs that have an allergy to bee stings. If your dog is allergic, he will have a fever, trouble breathing, the area will swell more than normal, and general weakness. In this case, it is very important to go to the vet immediately, since his life will be in danger.
