    The sun brings out every idiot, was nipped by a dog earlier, people shouldn't walk dogs in populated areas if they can't control them especially at school finishing time.

    Hope he got a kick up the hole

    Hope you are ok. Was the dog on a lead or loose.
    I would suggest that you also post your comment in Animal & Pet Issues thread.

    If you buy the Examiner and manage to identify some butterflies there is a week long recording challenge (starting Saturday) being run by Biodiversity Ireland.

    That will be usefull - I can identify the commoner ones like Peacock and Red Admiral but find the White ones very tricky!! Trying to get my head around bumblebees atm too...big fan of these furry farmer friends!!:D

    Me too. Youngest suggested a few years ago that I join the FB page - Insects/Invertebrates of Ireland - which I did but tbh I don't have the time to transfer the knowledge into reality. However with the bit I gleaned from the page I can now identify buff tailed and white tailed bumblebees and differentiate some hoverflies from wasps :)

    Most importantly you are OK.
    Is there any legislation determining what the legal length of lead/leash is? Only asking cause I occasionally walk my Rottie bitches in a public park in NCD.

    Good question, there's law that limits a fixed lease to 2 meters and a retractable to 10 meters but it appears that it's only for dogs on the dangerous list.

    Lady here was informed that her dog (on the dangerous list) should be muzzled when in public area by a concerned member of the public, she march's up to local Garda station to complain, Garda say's muzzle him or I'll fine you. people can be wierd regarding their dogs.

    Yeah luckily, I was wearing thick pants and it didn't break the skin. On a lead far too long for urban areas. If I see her again she will getting a piece of my mind because it's just not good enough.

    Did she apologize to you when it happened ?

    I'm as stiff today.
    Licked a lock of pasture on steep hills and boggy moor that rarely gets rolled and I was shook around like butter being made into cream :D

    Could it be that mange which is under the skin? I hate skin stuff, there's so many things it could be. Might be easiest & quickest to have the vet take a skin scraping (probably not the cheapest though :pac:)

    I had good, and quick, results from a dog with sarcoptic mangd (from foxes) with Aludex.

    Where would I get that? Was in pet store there and they reckon that if the spot on didn't kill it that it's an allergy. Am €100 worse off now. Our vets have closed and moved half an hour away.

    I got it in a chemist, years ago. Don't think a prescription was needed. It's the same as Taktic used in/on cattle. Amitraz is the active ingredient. Strong stuff and toxic, handle with care.

    Our vets were always half an hour way, don't see a problem with that.
    I'd be wary of using anything on a dog that wasn't prescribed....Spot on could be a bigger irritant to them than what ails him.
    A dog here got covered with oil after a hydraulic pipe burst. I washed him in Clinic shampoo, he got so itchy from the shampoo that I eventually put him into a rainwater tank to stop him scratching, took ages to get his coat right after

    It was not meant to be a euphemism! And i'd tell you if it had been :D
    But anyway, have the pasture all done so hopefully will have a nice amount to mulch in a while. Grass has gotten away a bit on us too. Growing up like mad.

    Try chemist for something like Sporal-D dog Shampoo. Wash rinse and repeat. If he has a heavy coat - clip it. I use the horse clippers on the hairy one here - that and a wash with the shampoo stops him scratching....

    What are you feeding? too high a protein diet(28%) can lead to scratching. "drives the blood mad" as the old people would say. Greysides can probably explain better than me

    Yes they recommended to change the food. She is now on salmon and rice feed at €45 a bag. I wonder would sudocreme help?
