‼️ Grass seeds ‼️
We had three patients in yesterday for a grass seed removal! One from the ear, one from the foot and one from the eye.
A lot of the time these can be removed fairly easily. However sometimes it does require us to sedate the patient for us to remove the grass seed.
Common signs that your pet may have a grass seed are:
▪️licking an area excessively
▪️shaking their head
▪️sneezing/ coughing a lot
▪️pawing at their face/ears
▪️swelling/redness in between or around digits
Whilst the symptoms above aren’t only linked to grass seeds, if you know your dog has been in long grass and could have a grass seed lodged somewhere, please do not hesitate to contact us for help.
