Bee and wasp stings in cats
3 min read
Bee and wasp stings in cats are fairly common in the warmer months, from spring to autumn. Cats are most often stung on the paw or face. Luckily, the majority of stings only cause mild swelling and irritation. Cats are good at hiding signs of illness, some may not show any obvious symptoms after a sting. Bee and wasp stings are also known as hymenoptera stings.
Serious reactions are rare but they can be life-threatening. Signs of a serious reaction include vomiting, excessive swelling, and breathing difficulties; these need emergency treatment.
