burrowing wasp sting2007-11-25 2:58:48

It seems my chihuahua was stung by something. He was in so much pain, the vet prescribed an anti-inflamatory and he is now doing fine. I want to prevent it from happening again, but I can't seem to find anything in the yard that caused it. Someone suggested burrowing wasps, but I have done some research and discovered that their mounds have excess dirt around the opening. There are none of these in the yard. There are however little holes completely flush with the ground. Does anyone know what that could be and if it would sting a dog? Has anyone had a similar problem with their pets getting injured by a sting from some mysterious pest?

Answers:

There are 2 possible things that could occur,1st,an alien zapped your dog with a laser gun,2,it could be a bumble bee.

bumble bees are known t live in holes they dig on the ground,your dog must have stepped in it or something since bumble bees are extremely terrotorial.
