Bee /wasp sting on dogs tongue help needed

[Justfishing]

Our cockapoo, 24lbs , got stung on his tongue. Thereis a little pieceof the stinger we cant get out. He is showing no ill affects. Or than annoyed with us.

Is there any thing to worry about? Just watch him?

Check with a vet not some yahoos on a boating site.

When our dog would get stung on the mouth, Vet would just give Benadryl and swelling would go down. If your Dog is not showing any swelling then I would thing they would be ok but I’m no VET.

Benadryl. One pink 25mg pill

Our beagle got stung on the tongue
Was about 2 year old
Thought the guy was going to die .
He looked bad
Lasted about 2-3 hours and and he was better .
To this day he still goes after the bees and tries to catch them and eat them .
happen couple time later

You can give your dog Benadryl dosage by weight ,.same as a human. If needed, if she isn't showing an symptoms or swelling I would just let her be.

Our old dog, about 15#'s was stung by a bee, keeled over with tongue hanging out eyes wide open not responsive, total anaphylactic shock.
Ran her to the vet certain she was dead, they gave her an epi injection and she perked right back. Sent me home with preloaded syringes and that we thankfully never had to use.

We refer to bees as “spicy sky raisins”...our dogs are too stupid to learn from past experiences as well.

Not going to be easy with a dogs tongue, but use a credit card and slide it along the tongue to force the stinger out. Squeezing it only releases more venom

If the dog is not in distress it should be fine, that little piece of stinger will fall out eventually.

Another vote for Benedryl as a precaution. Hope your pup is gonna be okay!

Benadryle solves most things

Blue Oval is right. Benedryl and watch for positive progress. Usually it's No

big deal.

He seems fine. I wasnt home at the time my wife was in a panic.

I figured like people we react to bee stings different and common sense was needed.

The one extreme is anaphylaxis and is a medical emergency. Some people get swelling and redness. That may require a trip to get it looked at. Fininally there are others that other than the initial discomfort its almost like it didnt happen.

It was 90 mintues after it happened when they brought him to me. His tongue appeared normal other than a small black speck. At that point i was thinking he is adversely reacting to the venom. We used credit cards and finger nails to try it get it. After the first couple attempts he was fighting it. You know how that goes, no way you are getting anything done without brute force or drugs.

Today he goes defensive as soon as you want to look. I was able to see it wasnt red and inflamed. I put peanut butter on a credit card and held it so it would scrape his tongue getting the peanut butter. Let him do the work and if anything was left maybe it would pull out.

My male boxer would do this once a month. He loved eating bees. 1/2 of his face would swell like a basket ball. After 2 trips to the vet I realized he just goes back to normal after 8-10 hours, and I just gave him benadryl. Those bees are a tasty treat that cannot be resisted

Our min pin Roxy got stung on her face by something we don't know if a bee or what but wife got up in morning and her face was so swollen she looked like a shar pie. She acted totally normal but was goofy looking as hell. Went to vet for a shot to reduce swelling and she was fine.Vet said same thing give them a benedryl and keep an eye on them.

One of our dogs was stung in the face in a cove this past weekend. Pre-treated with Benadryl (before any symptoms) and we just had a little bit of swelling. Any type of allergic reaction or bite, our vet has always recommended Benadryl.

My PitBeagal would hunting for bees (and sparks from camp fires) I kept telling her she was stupid, but in 13 years she never learned.

Come on folks dogs are not necessarily stupid they just don’t like things flying around their face and they don’t really have arms to shoe away a bee so they bite at them.

When I was in high school my dad and I moved to a part of Vegas where we had no neighbors. One day I was getting ready to goto bed and had just let my doberman out to goto the bathroom. Anyhow in 5 minutes time he managed to get nailed by a rattlesnake square on his nose.

I thought I was looking at a fucking alien, it seriously looked like someone inflated a basketball inside of his head. We had to find a 24 hour vet and rush him there. They pumped him full of drugs and we got to pick him up the next day. By then the swelling had reduced significantly, and he basically looked like some kind of hound with droopy jaws and drooling everywhere.

The skin snapped back eventually and he made a full recovery, toughest dog I have ever had.

The one neighbor we had ended up killing a rattlesnake a couple weeks later. We went and got it from him to see if buddy wanted any part of it, dumbass ran right up and sniffed it again. Fortunately he never ran into another rattler again.

There is more good advice on RDP, than at the Vet and a whole lot cheaper. The advice is generally cheaper, beccause someone else paid the 3k to get it.

Well, in her case, she would sit down wind from a fire and "surf" the sparks waiting for the big ones. Bee's she would go to the bushes and jump up to grab them. Her face would swell and she was happy. So . . .
