There shouldn’t be a shadow of a doubt in anyone’s minds that we love our four-legged furry pals (and some of us might give them more attention than we do our human amigos). And if you own a cute puppy, chances are that you’re giving it the best care that you can. The thing is, no matter how much you keep an eye on them, they can still land in trouble and end up eating something they shouldn’t. Like a bee or a wasp, aka a jalapeno flying raisin falling from the sky.
The next thing you know, they’ve swollen up and turned into tiny Michelin Men (or kielbasas if you haven’t had lunch yet and you have a Dachshund). It’s not nice to laugh at someone in pain, but the pups who got stung got the professional attention they needed, as some dogs can actually be allergic to insect stings. But they look so adorable and regretful after their important life lessons, Bored Panda couldn’t help but share photos of them with you.
Scroll on down and upvote your fave pics of swollen up canines who learned the hard way not to swallow everything in their paths. Drop us a comment about which pics of these unlucky puppers made you chuckle and go ‘aww’ the most. And let us know in the comments if your pet’s ever eaten a bee before and what you did to help it.

#3 Poor Good Boy Got Defeated By A Hive Of Bees
This picture was taken a few days ago. We did not bring him to the emergency vet, but we immediately gave him Benadryl. Within the hour amount of time, his swelling and anxiety subsided. We were prepared to bring him in if necessary. Nearly a week later, a full recovery and back to his usual self

#15 My Pibble Getting A Shot After Trying To Eat A Bee
Major was given a shot of Benedryl and steroids. The poor little guy was just at the vet two hours before this because he had a rash/swelling caused by anxiety. We are in the area of Cali that had fires and packed up to evacuate, and he didn’t deal well with the stress. Came home from the vet, an hour later he gets stung by a bee

I just woke up, and she was puffy. We found the carcass where she’d spit it out. She’ll be two in May, so maybe she’s old enough to reason it out

#32 My Dog Got In A Fight With A Bee, And Lost
He’s fine now. I had to leave the house as soon as I took that pic and was a bit worried when I had to go, but he was okay. I took him on a walk later that day and all of a sudden he stopped walking and wouldn’t budge. I didn’t know what was wrong until I saw a hornet flying around and realized he was afraid of it, so I had to carry him 20′ to get away from it. He’s such a little baby
