Stinging nettles and itchy dog.

[JustKickOn]

My cousin and I took his dog for a walk through the woods today.

She's a Staff and hasn't got alot of pur on her belly or legs.

When we got her home she was going crazy and was all itchy on her belly. When she was in the woods she dived into the stingers. Her belly had little red dots all over it. Could the nettles have caused this??

Yes they could, try an anti histamine cream to relieeve the itching.

Okay.

I'm at home now but will text my cousin.

This was my dogs nose after going into a nettle patch!

You can actually give them antihistamine tablets but I wouldn't like to say how much to give.

Ooh. That looks so sore.

You can give Benadryl (one without decongestant) to dogs--one tablet per 20-30lbs of weight.
