How cute are these two brothers?? ❤️
Cooper and Teddy paid us a visit last week, under the suspicion that they may have inhaled or ingested foxtails.
Foxtails are spiked seed heads found on some plants and grasses, and despite how pretty they can appear in nature or in a floral bouquet, foxtails are actually very dangerous for our furry friends.
Foxtails enter the body through ingestion or being inhaled, and then can migrate into tissues, causing abscesses and infections. Foxtails are especially dangerous to pets in the summer months when they have dried out and hardened.
If you suspect that your pet may have inhaled or ingested foxtails, we recommend visiting your local vet clinic as soon as possible.
Stay safe out there! 🌾
