My rabbit ate a wasp. What should I do if my bunny ate a bee?

Poor Charlie! Monitor her for signs of an allergic reaction, such as facial swelling, redness, itching, other abnormal behaviors, etc. If you notice any of these signs she should be seen by a veterinarian for treatment with an injectable anti-histamine. If she continues to act like her normal self, probably nothing to worry about. It is possible that she may have some gastrointestinal upset. Also, I would not be wrong to have the vet give her an anti-histimine just to be on the safe side. I hope Charlie doesn't experience any signs and doesn't eat any more bees!

Hello and thank you for contacting Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach. The bee can sting the mouth or the throat. It will not sting once it has been swallowed. If Bertie just ate a bee you should monitor him for signs of facial swelling and breathing problems. If you notice that his respiration becomes fast, loud and raspy, you should take him to your local vets as an emergency.

It is not uncommon for kittens or cats to occasionally eat a bug. As long as she didnt get stung, she should "bee" fine. Monitor for lethargy, loss of appetite vomiting or diarrhea. These are symptoms that should be addressed by your veterinarian.

Hi there. Bee stings can be serious if the dog happens to be allergic, just like in people - but the vast majority of the time, they don't cause any major problems at all :) Many dogs like to catch bees and swallow them, and I very rarely see any significant issues related to this. If Dutch is acting normal, there should be no cause for concern. Signs of a possible allergic reaction would include facial swelling, difficulty breathing, vomiting, or weakness or collapse. If you see any of these signs, then I would take him to a veterinarian right away. Otherwise, you can just monitor him for the next few hours to make sure everything is okay.

Thank you for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach! An insect bite would appear as a pimple or hive in the skin. However, not all insects bite and only a small number of them carry diseases. I recommend keeping a close eye on your bunnies for an signs of itching, loss of appetite, or abnormal bowel movements.

Ultimately, there is no consensus on whether or not sugar free gum leads to toxicity in rabbits like it would in a dog. A larger concern would be whether or not you need to be concerned about a potential gastrointestinal obstruction occurring. I would not give her any additional hay, but if you are noting normal appetite, drinking, and bathroom habits this is definitely a great sign. Your choices would be the following at this point: continue to monitor at home for any changes in normal, or take her to the vet where they can administer some fluids / keep her overnight for monitoring. If there is any significant changes in her appetite or bathroom habits in the next few hours, veterinary attention should definitely be sought. Hope this helps.

Thanks for reaching out about Bugsy Malone. All this could lead to digestive upset with the cheese, carbohydrate and onion. Onion could possibly be toxic but a fairly large amount needs to be ingested. Monitor appetite and defecation. Syringe feed if necessary. If concerned or shows signs of illness, a veterinary visit is recommended. Good luck.
