Bee and wasp stings in dogs are fairly common in the warmer months, from spring to autumn. Luckily, the majority of stings only cause mild swelling and irritation. 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.
