What to do if your puppy is stung by a bee

A bee sting can cause pain and discomfort, here are some suggestions:

1. Immediate observation: Check the stung area as soon as possible to confirm whether there are bee stings remaining on the skin. If there is, gently scrape it off with a toothpick or fingernail and avoid squeezing the needle with tweezers.

2. Cold compress: Use an ice pack or cold towel to gently apply to the stung area. Cold compress can reduce swelling and pain. Apply cold compresses for a few minutes each time, then rest for a while before applying again.

3. Cleaning: Gently wash the stung area with mild soap and water and keep it clean to avoid infection.

4. Ointment or wet compress: Depending on the dog’s condition, you can consult your veterinarian whether it is appropriate to apply ointment or use wet compress on the stung area to relieve symptoms and reduce discomfort.

5. Observe the symptoms: Pay attention to the dog's reaction and symptoms. If the dog has difficulty breathing, throat swelling, systemic allergic symptoms and other severe reactions, please seek medical attention immediately.

If your dog has a severe allergic reaction, persistent vomiting, or is unable to breathe normally, it should be sent to a veterinary clinic immediately for further treatment.
