Hello. Most pets do not require veterinary care with a single bee or wasp sting. You can generally treat the sting the same as you would yourself, by wrapping a bag of frozen peas in a tea towel & trying to hold this against the swollen area for 5-10 minutes every few hours. If Mich does not seem too distressed, then she will probably be just fine. But if she is acting sick, ill, lethargic, stressed, or acting painful at all, there are several emergency clinics within 20 miles of the zip code you provided. Just go to this web site & click on emergencies: https://www.vetlocator.com. Thanks for using PetCoach.
