A dog that is stung, particularly on the face or in the mouth by a bee may very well have a strong reaction much like a person with swelling. I always keep children's formula of Benadryl on my dog first aid shelf. A call to the vet to ask how much to give would be in order. As a rule, it's not serious and the Benadryl will take the swelling away in short order. Discourage your dog from biting at bees! Other insect bites can also be bad and even worse than a bee sting. YES! Some can be highly allergic. My dog broke out in hives(lumps under his skin, red marks on his belly) after just one honeybee sting. If I hadn't gotten him to the vet within 20 minutes, he would have died. Since they don't make epi-pens for dogs - the vet told me to give him 2 cortisone pills AND a benadryl right away.
