Just like my Molly - a real tomboy :wub:

I just leave her to it and I don't put any cream on as it tends to sort itself out. She has had some awful grass rashes too but it goes down in time and doesn't seem to bother her. I don't like putting stuff on her really. If your Molly is getting lots of cuts from heather perhaps you could put a little tshirt or coat on her which covers her chest/belly?

Hi, My lurcher doesnt seem to suffer with this but my staffy does....

My Vet advised me to moisturise her belly daily with Nivea- and it worked!

Seems that some types of grass can cause this in sensitive skin, your right it doesnt seem to bother them, try putting the moisture back in or using doggie aromatherapy oils to sooth the skin!

:cheers: thank you. Its just good to know molly is not the only one who suffers from this. i will moisturise it as you suggest and a t-shirt is an excellent idea.

last night she was not as bad.

thanks for your advice, woofs from molly and big ben . :thumbsup:

I use Aloe Vera gel on mine that get the same grass rash. I slap it on before and after exercise!

It always seem strange to me that it doesn't seem to be sore or itchy because it looks so bad!!

My wee jrt had a similar rash this time last year. It didn't seem to bother him too much. This year though the rash is much angrier and really bothering the poor mite. I've washed him with some hibiscrub and put aloe vera gel on it to help ease it. If it doesn't calm down in the next few days I'll pop him to the vet.

Tshirts are a great idea, I'll have to put his wee hoody on when he's out in the fields again. )

I do the same as Dessie .....Aloe Vera gel is brilliant stuff :thumbsup:
