Dog with nettle stings

my white staffie was out in the sun yesterday on the park she also went into some nettles today she has come out in like little heat lumps so I'm not sure if it is sunburn heat lumps or nettle stings please help me i don't know what to do.... thanks

Hi,

Sorry to hear about your dog. If it is sun damage generally there is a large area burned, not just lumps. From the description it sounds like nettle stings. You could try a cool bath and be sure the nettles are removed. Some people have tried applying topical anti-inflammatory creams and other ointments to relieve the sting but talk to your vet first.

Thanks,

Dr. Chris
