...I'm bringing her a bumble bee!! LOL Trigger finally put the wannabe alpha male in his place today over a big hairy bumble bee! Why is it, no matter how many times a dog gets stung, they keep going back for more? Is it the prey drive? Stupidity? Or do the bees just plain taste good?

I don't know but, I'll tell ya, my girl had 16 bees in her water pail the other day! And, the next day, it was 14! She also goes after them so, I'm not sure if she's dropping them in there after she catches them or if they're just stupidly drowning. Who knows?

Don't know, had one years ago that had a thing for porcupines and would come home 2-3 times a month with his nose and tongue full of quills. Finally quit taking him to the vet, (got pretty expensive) and pulled them out myself. That ended the porcupine issue.

OUCH!

I have a Bee chomper too. Taking him to the beach is fun. Anything buzzing is fair game. Once he got stung on the inside of his lip and his face puffed up on one side. I kept putting ice cubes from our ice chest in his lip until it went down. He didn't learn his lesson because he still does it.

Last summer Trigger was stung by bees 3 times--on his lip, tongue and ear. His ear swelled up so big it flopped over. Didn't slow him down a bit as the first bee he saw this year he nearly broke his neck trying to catch.

Yellowrose, can you contact me privately,my e ml address is on here. Want to ask you something about the copperhead. Thanks
Trio, I keep finding bees in my dogs waterbucket too although the Beast has never been seen capturing them. The only things she seems to capture are small trees which she pulls by the roots because she has an absolute 'immediate' need for a 'stick'. We are talking 2 inches in diameter and 6 feet tall at least . She works on it till she gets it [ which doesn't take long at all] and then runs off with it like the Queen of some country. Then,just try to get it from her.....................never happen. It's pretty funny, such determination.

Trigger's ear popped back up a few days later when the swelling went down. It was his lip that I thought would never get back to normal. The swelling went down fairly quickly, but his lip drooped on that side for months afterwards.

Better a bee sting than a snake bite on the nose, which is usually the closest body part presented enthusaistically to a snake. Yellowrose, I can't believe your dog was so fortunate as to be bitten on the ear. I have nightmares about mine finding a copperhead or a rattlesnake, being bitten, and suffocating from the swollen face before I could get it to a vet... not that any vet I know would have anti-venom on hand. I used to keep rattlesanke anti-venom, and black-widow anti-venom in my fridge "just in case," but no vet will even write me a prescription for Heartworm meds around here, or give me a syringe of oxytocin. I think I'll ask for anti-venom next time, just to see the incredulous look on the doctor's face.
