Title: URGENT ....Bebe has eaten a bumblebee and is being sick
Post by: NikNakNoo on June 05, 2014, 07:25:11 AM

Hi all

Advice needed.....Bebe has eaten a bumblebee. She was meowing very loudly in pain ...got up to check on her and she was sick. This included the bee. She has now been sick another 4 times....does she need to go to the vet??? Or should we just keep an eye on her? I've checked her mouth and can see no swelling but don't know if it stung her further down. Help?

Called the out of hours vet and they said keep an eye on her and that if it was going to effect her airways it would of happened by now but just to monitor her. She's now eaten breakfast and I can see no swelling so fingers crossed Shes okay

Helen's Riley used to have a bit of a bumble bee habit  ;) although I can't remember whether he swallowed any.  I think she used to give some Piriton although don't give that without checking with your vet.
