Health Alert – Bee Stings
Our rescue
received an email from one of our adopters. Their 3 year
old Pug had been stung by a Bee and passed away. The
family was out with the dog when the incident occurred and
saw the Pug go into distress. They rushed it into the
emergency and everything that could be done was, but they
we unable to save their Pug. The vet said it was the
worst reaction he had ever seen to a Bee sting.
Dogs, like human can have allergic reactions to Bee
stings. It is rare but the result can be
deadly. During the summer months keep a closer eye on
your pets, if you see your pet get stung by a Bee get it to
the Vets as a precaution.
Epi-pens can also be used on dogs as they are used on
humans. This may be something you should discuss with
your vet before using. There are times dogs will
chase Bees and catch them in their mouth. They don’t
know how deadly this game can be.
Be prepared, remember these are your children and they
cannot protect themselves.
