Best Answer

It is possible to get stung while swallowing a stinging insect, though a chameleon would usually crush the insect before or while swallowing. It is probably more likely to get stung around the tongue than the throat. This could just result in temporary discomfort, but a bee will normally detach the stinger and sac when stinging invertebrates, so a potentially harmful dose of venom can be administered even after the bee is swallowed or crushed.

A chameleon should be fine eating many types of 'bug'... but if there is obvious swelling around the throat, tongue, mouth or jaw, and/or the chameleon is having difficulty eating (or shows disinterest in food), you should consult a veterinarian. Be observant for swelling or worsening of appetite coupled with uncharacteristic lethargy. Simply consult a vet if you are concerned. Better to be safe than sorry.

If a puppy swallows a bee, there is no real concern. In most cases the puppy will not have any complications. The bee may cause the puppy to have an upset stomach. The puppy should be monitored to make sure behavior is normal. If the puppy is not acting normal, there could be an allergic reaction that requires care of a vet.
