SPRING HAS SPRUNG! and so has our first bee sting casualty for the season.
Banjo, a 5 month old Labrador, accidentally put his nose in the wrong place at the wrong time and was stung by a bee. Once his owner knew what was wrong, Banjo was brought to the clinic with in minutes. What started as a small swelling to the side of his muzzle, turning into this within minutes.
Bee stings most of the time are not life threatening and do cause irritation, swelling and pain, however, if your pet has been stung in the mouth or throat or has swallowed the bee, you will need take them to your closest vet ASAP as this may cause swelling of their airway making it difficult for them to breathe.
Symptoms to look out for include swelling, pain, irritation and in cases of allergic reactions you may also see general weakness and difficulty breathing. Please monitor your pet for the remainder of the day for any symptoms to occur.
If the stinger is present, DO NOT attempt to remove the stinger with tweezers or forceps as this will potentially squeeze more poison into the wound, you should scrape the stringer away with your fingernail (try to wear gloves to avoid yourself being injected with the poison also) or a rigid piece of cardboard lightly to remove it.
Most bee stings will settle if left alone, otherwise take your pet the your vet clinic for treatment. For more information please call the clinic on 0397434413.
Kitten dreaming! This little man is still available for adoption :)
