my puppy ate a bee, is she okay?

Question

There was a bee (like a wasp) buzzing in the sliding glass door, and Rylee (4 months old) caught it and ate it! chewed it up! i was like NO don't eat it! She is fine, obviously, but what happened? did the bee die when she chewed it or not sting her? silly question, i know... but... my pups are like my babies!

Answer 1

Most likely, the bee did sting her. It is probably fine, but keep an eye on her for a couple of hours at least. Look for any signs of swelling or discomfort. I had a puppy who was stung by a bee on the mouth and it swelled up so bad that she was having trouble breathing out of her nose and had to be rushed to the emergency vet, where she received shots of steroids and antihistimines. If your pup seems to be having trouble (swelling, itching, discomfort/restlessness), you can give her benadryl, but first you must call your vet about the correct dosage which is based on her size/weight. If more serious symptoms arise (severe swelling, trouble breathing, unconsciousness, etc.) obviously it is time to go to the vet.

The owner of the dog needs to know how to "operate" the dog, same way you can get into a car that's in perfect running order but if you don't know how to drive you won't have much luck making the car go anywhere. If the owner doesn't know how to maintain the training, the dog will soon become untrained again. Read more here https://tinyurl.im/RhbHW

People seem to think that once a dog is trained, that's it. Not true. You must reinforce the dog's training every single day in some way. It's best if the owner and the dog go together to get trained. As a professional trainer once said to me "We can train any dog in 2 days. It takes longer to train the owners

Answer 4

I had a dog that loved bee's, and the first time she ate one I freaked, so I took her to the vet, and he said that as long as she isn't having problems breathing, and there is no swelling she should be fine. Then he said just a little extra protein. Good luck.

Answer 5

Dont worry ur puppy is fine, the bee probably died, or just didnt sting him for sum reason, but if he starts to act funny or if she isnt fine, then I would talk to a vet.

Answer 6

I suggest you go see a vet. Even though it might be a negligible injury, it's different for each dogs. If a bee stings inside your lips, you probably would go to the doctors, right?

Answer 7

Yes, the bee is dead and your beloved baby is fine. I'm surprised that she didn't get stung in the process! Dogs like to chase flying incests. I have 2, 5 year old poms that love to chase bugs.
If she does this in the future, she may get stung. It won't kill her, but she will think twice before going after any insects.

Answer 8

My dog constantly snaps at bees in my backyard. He hasn't ever had a problem except when he got multiple stings on his shnoze...Then we just took him to the vet and he was all better.

Answer 9

My German Shepherd eats bees all of the time. We think he must have been stung by one in the past or something and is getting revenge! With all of the gross stuff that dogs eat (cat poop included), I think that eating a bee is the least of your worries.

Answer 10

My dog eats live insects at the time. I supppose the worst that could have happened is that the bee would have stung the dog's tongue. If the dog isn't crying or look like she is in pain, then it's harmless.
