Nettle stings
Just wondered how long nettle stings would take to show on a staffy?
Took Knox for a run at lunch time and we went a different way but I had to go through a small clump of nettles. I've stung my legs and Knox followed me through.
I checked him when I got him and he didn't show signs of being in pain and there were no lumps but I'm worried when I get home I might find him in pain or lumps everywhere.
Anyone know how long nettle stings take to show as mine showed up pretty much straight away

Re: Nettle stings
Should be the same time roughly, although could take a bit longer! Bailey got them before and they never bothered him.

Re: Nettle stings
Just hoping I don't go home to find he's had a reaction
He seemed fine when I left him and was with him a good 15 minutes after he'd run through them

Re: Nettle stings
Should be the same. Not a Staff but our Boxer Cassie got stung by nettles (along with me and my brother) and they showed up more or less the same time as ours. I don't think they'll bother him much, maybe they didn't get him properly?

Re: Nettle stings
Ledger went nose first into some nettles the other day and I was waiting for a reaction but he didn't seem to get one only experience I'd had previously was our first dog as a 6-8wk pup she blew up like a balloon immediately.

Re: Nettle stings
Vinnie is always peeing against nettles and wading through them, no effect at all sure it will be fine.

Re: Nettle stings
If frankie stings his paws he comes home and immediately runs round like a loon digging at the rug and at his bed, like he's frantically nesting. He can be a bit of a drama queen though. Now if he funds himself amongst nettles he just stands there waiting to be carried away from them! I wouldn't worry too much, as already said its normally an immediate reaction

Re: Nettle stings
since he had fur he may not have been stung at all. I would however give his paws a wipe with water
