Bee and wasp stings are common in cats and dogs 🐝
If a bee stings your pet, the sting will usually be left in the skin. Wasp stings don’t have this tell-tale sign, and they may sting your pet more than once.
It's important to remember - if your pet has an allergic reaction and the area they've been stung starts to swell to contact your vet immediately ⚠️

[Visual description: Infographic titled 'what to do if your pet is stung by a wasp/bee'. Signs and symptoms: swelling, licking or biting the sting, whining and crying, limping or holding up a paw, drooling, and hives. If your pet is having an allergic reaction, they could have more severe symptoms. If this is the case, get them to your vet as soon as possible. If your pet is showing signs of swelling around the mouth or throat area, see your vet immediately. Never squeeze a sting, as this can make things worse. If your pet's reaction is mild, call your vet for advice and closely monitor them for signs of an allergic reaction.]
