(w00t) A recent one that i ,ve heard about, not sure if it works is pile cream on nails after you have cut them to make the quirk's go back, only if you have a dog with very long nails.

Makes sense i suppose. Diane.

A few years ago whilst at an agility show, Hebe stuck her nose into a wasps nest in the base of a tree. she backed out very quickly & had obviously been stung a few times i sprayed her whole face with Aloe Vera spray I also gave her some Apis homoeopathic treatment. Within an hour she was back competing with no ill effects at all.

Must try that on Rafferty, his nails grow very quickly & get very long. I just cut them a couple of days ago but will trim them again soon & try this.
