🌾Poor Bella came to see us today after not one but two grass seeds (foxtails) had managed to work their way down into her ear canal!
The owner spotted that something wasn't quite right and her ear was very painful to the touch.
Delicate removal under sedation was required for poor Bella. 💙
☹️ These grass seeds can cause a lot of discomfort to your dog. With their sharp and pointy design, they can bury their way into pretty much anywhere given the opportunity. Most commonly in-between digits of the paws so it's always a good idea to inspect your dogs feet after they have been in grassy areas.
Signs to look out for are excessive head shaking or scratching at the ears and sometimes holding their heads to one side.
