I think my puppy might have got stung by a bee, any suggestions?

[hopein08]

It was about an hour ago and on her left front paw.. My whole family looked and can't see a stinger but on her walk she had a bug in her mouth and we're pretty sure it was a bee. We finished the walk and she was just fine, i.e. no whimpering, crying, etc. But now she's chewing on it a little bit more than usual and held it in the air when she was getting a drink of water. Still no whimpering or crying though. She doesn't seem to be having any trouble breathing and I don't think I see much, if any swelling.

Has anybody had this happen? Any suggestions about what to do?

1. Just keep a very close eye on her for signs of an allergic reaction.

Look up your nearest emergency vet hospital in case you need to get her there in a hurry. Maybe even call them to see what they think you should look for.

2. Thanks...

we've looked up dogs and bees at various internet sites and are closely watching for signs of allergic reaction. And we know right where the nearest vet hospital is as we had to take another dog there a few months ago.
