G3mma&Ash Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ash ran into a stinging nettle bush and now has a nasty red itchy rash under one of his legs I was wondering if anyone knew of something i am able to put on it to stop the itch an sooth it? He seems alright in himself but i think its quite itchy for the poor boy! Any help would be wonderful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
puggy_puggy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 I would bath him or at least bath the area/s. Do you have any human antihistamines? How big is he? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G3mma&Ash Posted August 4, 2009 Author Share Posted August 4, 2009 Bath it with just cool water? or with his shampoo which epismooth? I wasnt sure if i could put it on him but will go have a look to see if i have some! I know iv got sudo cream would that help? Or dont bother? He a medium sized dog!

puggy_puggy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Bath in whatever you normally bath him in. It would be to get any remaining sap etc from the nettle off him. If you have some human antihistamines such as claratyne, telfast etc give him one of those as well. I don't think Sudo Cream would help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaxx'sBuddy Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 (edited) make a paste of baking soda and water and apply to the affected area ets maybe stingose would help as well and the really old cure is to get dock leaves and rub on the affeted area Edited August 4, 2009 by Jaxx'sBuddy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rijbiz Posted August 4, 2009 Share Posted August 4, 2009 Ours used to run into them all the time at our last place and we used to break a piece of the Aloe Vera plant and rub the area with that. Never had a rash come up but whether it was because of the Aloe I really cant say. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
