Summary
This study reports the first documented case of a corneal bee sting in a cat. Surgical removal of the bee stinger, without its venom sac, led to an uneventful recovery.
Area of Science:
- Veterinary Ophthalmology
- Ophthalmology
- Feline Medicine
Background:
- Ocular bee stings in humans can cause a range of injuries, from mild conjunctivitis to severe ocular damage.
- The presence of the venom sac with the stinger is associated with more severe outcomes due to venom delivery.
