Does anyone know, do wasps sting other animals and can animals suffer from anyphylactic shock?
Answers:
Wasps do sting animals and animals can suffer anyphylactic shock. This report, taken from a website, is obviously quite extreme, but it did happen to a show dog.
'Two wasps (rather their remains) were found in his stomach and the tissue samples showed that when he swallowed them, they went down fighting, as there were wasp stings in several places at the very back of his tongue, down his throat all the way down his esophagus. The report states that anaphylactic shock from these wasp stings appears to have brought on the chain reaction leading to heart failure. It was also reported that the anaphylactic shock can cause the dog's body temperature to spike very high, very quickly (his at time of death was 109 F), thus leading to the stroke. Please take caution with your pets when wasps and bees are in the area. These little pests can be deadly!'.
I've had cats and dogs stung by wasps before. don't know about the shock, but it figures it's possible.
my dog was stung by a wasp.i dont think so ive never come across it. I think its just us we seem to be allergic to everything!
dogs and cats,and i belive they can suffer from anyphylactic shock.
Yes Wasps do sting other animals... dogs,cats, horses... they can go into shock as well if allergic
Yes and yes. I used to work in a vets office and we used to see the shock and allergic reactions in dogs from time to time. One's face swelled up unbelieveably!
Yeah, wasps sting anything that invades thier territory or threatens them. Dogs, cats, even inanimate objects if they are riled enough. And almost any animal can be alergic, though some animals, like humans, are more prone then others. If you think about it, the reason more people are allergic to stings then other animals is probably because we take care of our wounded. Animals in the wild who go into shock would die and not pass on thier genes to the next generation.
Wasp venom, or poison, contains histamine and a factor that dissolves red blood cells. So yes, a animal can cecum to a wasp sting all be it rare it is possible.
My friend's dog keeps eating wasps. She gets stung every time, but keeps on stalking them, pouncing and snapping them up. She yelps as they go down, and then starts looking for more.
She's a rather weird dog. We assume it must be like spicy food or something. She keeps eating them even though it hurts. Fortunately, she does not seem to have any allergies to the stings (yet).
Yes they can - I know that for a fact cos I used to work for a vet may years ago as a trainee vet nurse and I saw plenty of dogs and cats in the summer with anaphylactic shock through bee and wasp stings
If the animal were allergic, yes.
