Question
HI I THINK MY DOG HAS BEEN STUNG BY NETTLES ON HIS FACE IT SEEMS TO BE IRRITATING HIM IS THERE ANYTHING I CAN DO TO HELP HIM PLEASE REPLY ASAP AS I DONT LIKE THE THOUGHT OF HIM BEING DISTRESSED THANKYOU

Answer
I can practically count the times I would suggest medicating your dog without a vet's advice on my thumbs. This is one. You might give him a buffered aspirin tablet. Real aspirin, the newer safer stuff is not safe for dogs. 5mg for every pound of body weight, a standard 325 mg tablet for a 65 pound dog every 12 hours.
