NETTLE STINGS

Hi, my 14wk puppy has went for a walk in the feilds and has gotten some nettle stings on his feet. He won't stop scratching and biting his feet. How can I cure this?! Please help.

Thanks,

Do you have any plain benadryl? If so, I would start with that.

The dosage is 1mg per lb.  The pills are 25mg.  I might also try a cool bath,  that might give a little relief.

Bath

We tried the cool bath and that seemed to do the trick. :-)

Oh good. Glad your boy is OK.

I remember getting into them as a kid, not fun.

Also, might help to soak in epsom salts

if any are imbedded in the paw.
