Wasp bites aren't just painful - they can also be potentially dangerous, especially if your pet is allergic.
In most cases, you can see swell pretty quickly, but there are also other signs that can hepl you understand that your pet was attacked by a wasp.
Let's find out more about them.
The area where your dog got bitten might swell up. It could become puffy or bigger than usual.
Your dog might show signs of pain, like whimpering, licking the area, or being sensitive when you touch it.
The skin around the bite can become red or irritated.
Your dog might scratch or rub the bitten area because it's itchy or uncomfortable.
If the bite is on a paw or leg, your dog might limp or not put weight on that leg.
Sometimes, a wasp bite can make a dog feel uneasy or anxious. They might act differently than usual.
In rare cases, if a wasp stings your dog inside their mouth or throat, they might have trouble breathing.
This is an emergency situation, and you should seek immediate vet help.
Wasps might seem small and harmless, but they aren't - so if you see any wasp bite signs, then take your dog to a vet as soon as possible.
