If your dog ate a stag beetle, you should:

  1. Stay calm. Panicking will not help your dog.
  2. Call your veterinarian immediately. They will be able to advise you on what to do next.
  3. Bring the stag beetle (or a picture of it) with you to the veterinarian. This will help them identify the type of beetle and determine the best course of treatment.

Symptoms of stag beetle ingestion in dogs can include:

  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea
  • Abdominal pain
  • Lethargy
  • Loss of appetite
  • Tremors

Treatment for stag beetle ingestion in dogs will depend on the type of beetle and the symptoms your dog is experiencing. Treatment may include:

  • Antibiotics if your dog has an infection
  • Surgery in severe cases

Prevention is the best way to avoid stag beetle ingestion in dogs. Keep your dog away from areas where stag beetles are common, and do not allow your dog to eat dead or dying insects.
