Summer is almost gone so we guess dogs know too? Now dogs have the urge to go out even more to enjoy the last bit of sunshine, warmth, and well… a bee sting on a dog.
We’re not wrong when we tell you that a bee sting on a dog doesn’t really stop him from basking in the sun but obviously it’s very fidgeting and bothering for your pet. We have so many dog bee sting pictures below that show you sometimes the bee sting on a dog really doesn’t stop him from having fun.
But remember, although the stings not fatal, bee stings still typically hurt animals more than humans, God knows why! So here are some dog bee sting pictures and dog bee sting treatments below.
Try to find if there’s a bee sting on your dog
Basically, you should know beforehand. Check out some dog bee-stung pictures of swollen snouts and you’ll know if your dog has been stung by a bee, too.
Obviously, your dog won’t come and tell you but if you know they’ve been playing out in the sun especially near the flowers, you have to keep a keen eye on ’em.
As you can see in this picture, the severity of the swelling is a little too much. At BluePearl Veterinary Partners, Dr. Sonja Olson; a senior clinician/ vet says: Your dog might start licking its paw or chew softly because of irritation if he’s been stung by a dog.
OMG! Merely looking at this beautiful bear coat dog is going to take all your worries away!
