Hi and thanks for posting. There are not many home remedies for sea urchin stings other than trying vinegar which acts as a natural antiseptic and helps lessen the pain a bit. However, these stings can be very painful and the pain can linger for some time especially if not all the spines have been removed. I recommend Baby Girl see her veterinarian as soon as possible to be sure all the spines are removed properly and to get her on a course of pain relief medication and antibiotics if the area looks infected. I hope this helps and thanks again for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
