My dog ate a bee/wasp. What emergency signs & treatments are there?

Question

I believe he got stung (or tried to eat) a bee/wasp as his kept doing the head shaking/spitting type thing. What should I watch for in an emergency case? And what can I give him to make sure he doesn't swell or have a bad reaction, if anything. He's about 76lbs, a pit who is neutered. And as I make this post his mouth doesn't seem swollen. Thanks! Pet's info: Dog | Mixed Breed Large (61lb +) | Male | neutered | 1 year and 9 months old | 80 lbs

Hi, thanks for using PetCoach! Poor Kronk! Check his mouth inside and out well. Flush out his mouth with water. You can proactively give benadryl to hopefully prevent any type of reaction leading to swelling. If his face swells despite the benadryl he should be seen by a vet for steroids. https://www.petcoach.co/canigive/dog/benadryl/ I wish you the best!
