mosa Posted April 13, 2008 Report Share Posted April 13, 2008 (edited) Hello all. Everytime i take jess ( 1 year old cocker)out down woods etc etc she goes mad for a few hours afterwards flying all over the place and licking her feet etc as if she has been nettled etc, surely it cant go on like this all the time. I have had her at lots of locations and it always happens, cheers in advance for any help Edited April 13, 2008 by mosa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

flash Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 as shes quite young could it be cause her pads are much softer then an adults dog, so more prone to being stung by nettles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleaner4hire Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Harley - my springer had this for the first time yesterday after spending alot of time playing in a stream, he got quite agitated by it, i looked at his pads and they seemed to be a bit more cracked than usual, so i put it down to the water softening them... it seems quite common though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest stiv24 Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 Go to the chemist and get a packet of Piriton tablets. Stick one inside a piece of cheese and feed it to your dog. They take about 30 mins to kick in but they are great for relieving the itching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
