One of our guests cam rushing in and said they'd seen a 3 foot caterpillar (they "process" touching nose to tail). My immediate thought was "that would make one heck of a big moth!"

Over the phone the vet instructed us to put a hose pipe in his mouth, turn it on full and wash the mouth out thoroughly and repeatedly . The biggest threat is the damage to the tongue caused by the irritating hairs. This frequently requires surgery and can lead to the complete loss of the tongue if not treated quickly.Angushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905037014736070475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-860373600653353661.post-89222157649286894632016-03-06T08:16:39.708+01:002016-03-06T08:16:39.708+01:00Sophie must be the only girl in the Universe that ...Sophie must be the only girl in the Universe that doesn't want a kiss from Bob ! Those really are most uninspiring cakes.<br />The caterpillars (called procesionario del pino, here in Spain) have started to leave their nests here too. About a month ago I found a lone dead one on our terrace outside the living room, so since then I've been keeping a close eye on things. We once had a young dog who was stung, but fortunately rushed him to the vet just in time. The vet told us that it's mostly puppies and young dogs who are attacked because they are so inquisitive and tend to sniff at everything. A tip a friend gave me is to spray them with hair lacquer, which seals their hairs and prevents them from stinging.Coppa's girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16459503600694841117noreply@blogger.com
