Are Wasps Bad For Cats?

During the summer months, it is common for cats to get stung by wasps. These insects are black and yellow and can be irritating to humans and cats.

When a cat is stung by a wasp, it may experience mild swelling or a localized reaction. In severe cases, a cat may experience a serious allergic reaction. It is important to monitor your cat’s condition and behaviour for 24 hours after the sting.

After a cat has been stung, the area will start to swell, redden and itch. Cats may paw at the wound, which can further irritate the area. In addition, salivation and difficulty eating may occur.

Most cats will recover from a wasp sting within 24 hours. However, in severe cases, it is important to take your cat to a veterinarian. Your vet may recommend an antihistamine to treat the allergic reaction.

If your cat is allergic to wasps, your vet may recommend a medication to counteract the histamine. This medication may be helpful for minor allergic reactions, but it won’t work in the case of anaphylactic shock.

The best way to prevent your cat from getting stung is to keep him away from places where wasps are active. In addition, keep your cat indoors during wasp season. If you cannot keep your cat indoors, you should consider using mosquito nets to keep the insects out.

In addition, if your cat is stung on its face, it may have difficulty eating. Its throat may also swell and it may become difficult to breathe.
