🐝Bee stings in your pets 🐝

Hamilton Small Animal Veterinary Centre

Our wonderful vet Nicole got to help Little Charlie recently who came in feeling very miserable after trying to eat a bee! Luckily Nicole managed to pull the sting out of Charlie’s mouth which instantly made her feel a lot happier!💕

Bees can cause swelling, redness, itching or salivation depending on where they sting. Some animals can have an allergic reaction that results in facial swelling, vomiting, hives and sometimes breathing issues. These unlucky pets sometimes need medications to help with the reaction.

❤️What you should do if your pet is stung.

•Remove the stinger if possible with tweezers or scrape it out with something stiff.

•You can apply a cold compress to the area.

•If any allergic reaction occurs please phone us and bring your pet down for treatment. Please don’t administer medications without advice.

As you can see Little Charlie lapped up all the attention while she was with us!💕
