* Anaphylaxis: Dogs can have severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis) to wasp stings. This can be life-threatening and needs immediate treatment.
* Infection: Any wound, including a sting, can become infected.
* Pain: Wasp stings are painful, and your dog will be in discomfort.
Please contact your veterinarian or an emergency animal hospital immediately. They can assess the situation, provide pain relief, and administer any necessary treatment.
In the meantime, you can:
* Keep your dog calm.
* Monitor for any signs of allergic reaction, such as swelling beyond the sting site, difficulty breathing, or hives.
* If the sting is visible, you can gently try to remove the stinger with tweezers, but be careful not to squeeze it and release more venom.
Remember, it's always best to err on the side of caution and get professional help for your dog.
