Dog won't eat after wasp sting in mouth. When should I see a vet?

Check the inside of Jack's mouth (cheeks, outside of the gums, inner part of the gums, roof of the mouth, the tongue). A sting could cause these symptoms, as well as chewing on something sharp or foul tasting. If Jack seems comfortable for the rest of the day and eats dinner without issues, then I would think he is fine. If he doesn't feel like eating, if you see a wound in the mouth, or if you notice that the mouth, tongue, or muzzle starts to swell, then he should be examined by a vet right away.

Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! I do think that she should see a veterinarian for further assessment and treatment. She may be having an allergic reaction to the sting. Also, this appears to be causing her pain which may be why she is not eating. It is hard to know without an examination but this is certainly concerning. They would be able to examine her and determine what would be best to treat her with. Good luck and have a good night!

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Kronk! Check his mouth inside and out well. Flush out his mouth with water. You can proactively give benadryl to hopefully prevent any type of reaction leading to swelling. If his face swells despite the benadryl he should be seen by a vet for steroids. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ I wish you the best!

Dogs can be allergic to bees and stings will swell. It could be possible that she was stung by a bee, but my answer is still the same, she needs emergency veterinary care now. Swelling from bee stings in the mouth can and do cause the airways to be blocked off, leading to respiratory distress and death. She sounds very ill, and if there was anything you could do at home for her, I would tell you. There honestly isn't, she needs to see a vet right away.

This could be from eating horse poo, and it could be a reaction to the sting. If he keeps throwing up or if the bee sting swelling does not go down you should take him to a veterinarian for some stronger medication to reduce the swelling. Once he stops vomiting you can withhold feed for about 12 hrs, then feed bland food (boiled rice with boiled boneless white chicken meat) for a day and then slowly introduce his regular food again . Should Percy get lethargic, get breathing problems or appear ill any other way, he should be seen by a veterinarian right away.

Oh no, poor Kratos! If he's getting worse, he needs to be back into a vet immediately. He needs further treatment, and if his face continues to swell up, he could go into respiratory distress. Please take him into an ER vet clinic; if there isn't one in your area, there will be a vet on call for emergencies. The information to reach that vet is found on a clinic's answering machine or website.

I am sorry to hear Madison is not feeling well. Insect stings can cause anaphylaxis just like in people. It is a good sign the facial swelling is going down and you can administer an over the counter antihistamine. However, if the vomiting does not stop I would recommend taking her to a vet for medications to stop the vomiting. I would be concerned that she might become dehydrated. Also, you can feed a bland diet to help her rest her stomach.
