PSA to all my beautiful dog owners
Last night our beautiful little girl Matilda was stung by a bee while eating her dinner. Within a few minutes she had collapsed, pooped herself and was going in and out of consciousness. we immediately took her to Underwood emergency vet and they had a team of vets and nurses waiting for us to arrive. On our drive there Matilda was in and out of consciousness, breathing not breathing, eyes rolling to the back of her head and completely limp. They immediately started treatment on her and did everything possible to stabilise her.
In dogs bee stings do not work the same as humans. With dog bee stings, that caused the dog to go into an anaphylactic reaction target their liver, kidneys and gallbladder than can go into blood clotting. And then obviously. Death. She spent the night at the emergency vet while they did constant around the clock supervision and IV changes, blood tests and ultrasounds on her. We are so lucky we got her there when we did. And I can’t express how unbelievably appreciative for the team at underwood emergency vet for how amazing they were to Matilda, Will and I. We got a call at 1 am that she had finally completely stabilised and was able to come home this morning. She is now home resting, but still not her blubbly self I’m sure all of you know how much I love my babies and this completely broke us last night and I cannot even start to imagine it happening to anyone elses animal. please if your dog is stung by a bee especially now that it spring take them to the vet immediately because you don’t know if they’re going to be anaphylactic or not. Our fast thinking saved her life.
