Bee and wasp stings

Cuthbert seems to have developed an interest in trying to eat insects and flies so I think I'd better be prepared for him trying to eat a bee or a wasp. Only I can't remember the treatment for each. I think one was vinegar and one was baking soda but I can't be sure. Does anyone else know please?

Gaelle, Diesel eats wasps regularly .......... it's never done him any harm. I asked the vet about it and he said if he'd had no immediate reaction after the first time he done it then he'd be fine..... apparently! Confused

wasps = vinegar ..... I think.

reminds me of the pink panther film when the detective guys asks " Does your dog eat beetroot?"

Ooh ooh I did this at school, and the easy way to remember it (for me anyway) was VW (as in Volkswagon) but also, cleverly, Vinegar-Wasps and (being in the Boys Brigade) BB or Bees 'n' Baking Soda!!! Laughing

Ashley laughed at me when I told her this Crying or Very sad

Thanks folks I'll remember VW and BB (I hope!) Chances are when he eats a wasp or bee (which knowing him he will!) he will have no adverse reactions but best be prepared anyway! Thanks again.
