Poor Alfie pounced on something next to the river and stung his eye in the nettles! I'm relectant to give him a piriton as last time he had explosive diarrhoea from it?! It's looking bad anything else I can do??

Awww poor Alfie Not a lot you can do, I give Urtica for nettle stings as Archie is forever getting covered in stings after chasing anything that moves :blink: It is a homoeopathic and needs to be 30C potency. I would recommend keeping some on stand-by if it happens again.

Hope he feels better soon :luck:

I tried bathing it but it didn't help much , so I gave him 2 lamb hearts which took his mind off it very rapidly! :thumbsup: Now he's stopped rubbing at it it looks a bit better

I use an eye for of 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/2 teaspoon bicarb with 1/2 pint cooled bolied water for me and the girls. Hope he feels better soon. :luck:

Awww thank you I'll send on your well wishes! :huggles: I must say he certainly is playing the sympathy card - I've never seen him so sad?! :clown:

As Jo said, Urtica 30c, I give them every 15 mins when they are first stung. Also bath in cold water (or in the case of an eye, a pad of cotton wool soaked in cold water, use as a compress, don't rub it though!) as often as you can.

Yes we're bathing the eye now as it's still weak Haven't got any Urtica but it's probably worth us getting some as he's bound to do it again! :- "
