She yelped and was very quiet and forlorn looking for a day or two. We gave her milk and our duck and hen eggs to eat and she's making a good recovery.
The wife gave her baths in Tea Tree Oil in the water. Our local chemist said that we should make a paste with Bicarbonate of Soda and water. It takes away the sting.
The exceptional hot weather must have brought the Jellyfish to the Gulf Stream where we live.
Please be careful if you go in the sea this Irish Bank Holiday weekend there are some very big Jellyfish about.
Poor Bronte. We kind of thought fur might be a protective layer - but clearly not so. I, the Tigger, always knew that going in or even near water is dangerous. We hope she makes a good recovery. xxx Mr T
ReplyDeleteBronte would be better off being like that owl and pussycat and sailing in a boat Tigger. Thanks. We let them play in a paddling pool when it's hot until those nasty Jellyfish go away.
ReplyDeleteOh poor Bronte. Luckily I don't swim so no danger of me getting into that water.
ReplyDeleteI know JayCee. She was only born in November and just learned to swim and really enjoying her dips in the bay and this nasty Jellyfish decided to sting her. She yelped and was very sad for a couple of days but she's back to herself now. Thankfully.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad Bronte is better.
ReplyDeleteThanks Rachel. She's back to her old self thankfully.
ReplyDeletePoor Bronte. Glad to hear she's getting better
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda. She's on the mend.
DeleteI can assure you that I will NOT be swimming off the coast of Ireland this weekend. Thanks for the tip!
ReplyDeletePoor Bronte. I'm glad she is back to her old self. Enjoy your long weekend.
It's like Portugal at the moment Debby. Who's ever known for farmers to make hay in May? There's quite a few whales and dolphins been seen close to the coast on the Irish Riviera at the moment. It looks like it's going to be a great long weekend.
ReplyDeletewhat kind of whales? That is exciting!
DeleteHumpback Whales Debby.
DeletePoor Bronte! I bet that the three Bronte sisters were never stung by jellyfish.
ReplyDeleteI bet they got stung by a publisher like most writers do.
ReplyDeleteGood to hear Bronte is better. Do they not give jellyfish warnings when the season is on for them?
ReplyDeleteI haven't heard or seen any Jellyfish warnings River.
