Dan Outdoors 13 Posted March 5, 2012 Report Share Posted March 5, 2012 I've got a smooth coated lurcher that suffers quite badly with the pain of nettle stings, I try leaving him in the garden till the pain passes but he still cannot settle down for atleast two hrs after I've let him in, anyone got any prevention tips? Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millet 4,497 Posted March 7, 2012 Report Share Posted March 7, 2012 You can use piriton but at the end of the day they is not much you can do about it..the dog's feet should toughen up to a certain degree in time.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
