Bee Sting Death

Here's Joxer....he's pitbull/boxer.

P.S. How do I get the pics to show rather then embed? Plus, how do you post two pics in one post?

Thanks!

So sorry about your friend George. My neighbor has a Chocolate Lab named Chip. He was also stung by a bee and had breathing problems. The vet gave him shots to counter his reaction (possibly Benadryl). Chip was fine after that but he was told to keep away from bees. It could happen again and have a worse reaction the next time. The problem is, how can you really keep dogs away from insects? I am very sorry for your loss.

Wilma and Joxer are both very precious! Thanks for sharing their picture with us!

You can upload images to imagestation.com and then do an IMG link to them.

Kat..your pups are just lovely, beautiful photos..thanks for sharing. Sorry this is a late response. My dog Cody snaps at bees and must have been bitten without my noticing. At first I thought he develped a cold becuase he was sluggish and breathing heavier but did not seem in real distress. Nevertheless, I took him to the vet the next day where he got anti-biotics..same situation as George, nothing showed in blood work. By the next few days when he showed no improvement, I took him back and mentioned his bee fetish in conversation and the vet gave him a shot, and Cody was fine by the end of the day. So like humans, every dog is different I guess. What a shame, poor George. How devastating. Unfortunately, we have to learn by our mistakes.

I am very sorry to hear about your dog. It all must have been vey saddening. My deepest sympathy.:(

Karen,
I'm so glad that they were able to help your pup. Now you know what to look for and that's a very good thing. :)

i know what it feels like to lose a dog i just did on 2/21/03 and it does make sense that dogs could die from bee stings but now one dogs death is anothers life>>> now eveybody knows what can happen

So sorry to hear of your loss. I guess it is with dogs as it is with humans - some are allergic. iwuvsmypuppy is right, at least now others will know what to watch for and perhaps prevent the same fate.
