ginga john 268 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 Vinegar will burn the tender skin between the toes, try some surgical spirit rubbed on the pads a couple of times a week will soon harden them up Quote Link to post

Giro 2,648 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 half a piriton tablet Its effective 1 Quote Link to post
zx12edge 1,001 Posted January 3, 2013 Report Share Posted January 3, 2013 The last three dog i have had have all suffered from nettle stings but got over it without giving them anything. I wouldn't put any creams or sprays on because they would just lick them off. an anti-histamine tablet - such as piriton will relieve the pain and itching.Must admit it cracks me up watching them doing the river dance.

stop.end 4,079 Posted January 4, 2013 Report Share Posted January 4, 2013 arre you washing your yard or pens in any kind of industrial cleaner or bleach? dogs pads should be very durable but i find if they are burnt or tender it may be from the cleaner you use .... may not be a sloution but could be part of the problem Quote Link to post
