Dogs and Ant Bites

vets Helotes TX

If you have ants in your yard, then you may want to consider treating them (a.k.a getting rid of them) with a pet safe ant remover. Splenda sugar sweetener has been known to attract ants and kill them. Check online and talk with your vet about that option. Ants and dogs don’t mix. Your dog may accidentally get into an ant bed and be covered with ants before you know it. If there are ant bites, call your vet and ask about ointments for itching and irritation. If your dog is allergic to the aunt bites then you may notice an allergic reaction within the first 20 minutes of a bite. Mild symptoms may show up as late as 24 to 48 hours later. Look for signs like swelling of the area around the bites, hives, or even difficulty breathing. Call your vets Helotes, TX right away.
