Working at vets office in a rural community for several years, I saw lots of dogs with severe infections and abcesses caused by foxtails their ownners hadn't realized were there. I agree with Emily though- its super satisfying to go in there and get them. Life's all about finding pleasure in the things we have to deal with and can't change, right?<br /><br />Erie can only train for about another month before we have to put off field work, for the most part, until the fall. She'll get a break while we wait out foxtail season.<br /><br />Glad to hear Cabana is doing better. She is such a cute girl!Laceyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16488701221517642853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-47285974808174009962010-04-22T22:33:15.593-07:002010-04-22T22:33:15.593-07:00Oh Geez!

Glad they got it out so quickly... less observant owners often get their dogs (and their bank accounts) in considerably more trouble when the foxtails work their way in further, causing all sorts of horrible and (like you said) deadly problems. <br /><br />With that said, I secretly enjoy "weed seed" season around here at the vet clinic where I work... nothing more satisfying than watching the vet go into some orifice and pulling out a weed seed! Or 10 (usually from ears)! One had even worked its way up between the pads of the dog's foot, requiring a small exploratory surgery to remove it (she estimated it had been there for a few months). The vet had a hunch, but until she was in there she had no idea what was causing the problem.Emily and the Labradorshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15153115138466422821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8991878347710358809.post-82847142919807092832010-04-22T18:10:27.186-07:002010-04-22T18:10:27.186-07:00Ouch!
