Three dogs showed signs of intravascular haemolysis, spherocytosis and peripheral neuropathy following severe bee envenomation. These effects were ascribed to the constituents of bee venom, especially melittin and phospholipase A. All 3 cases recovered and were discharged subsequent to prednisolone and supportive therapy.
