🌾Small Grass seeds…Big Problems🌾
Grass seed season is well and truly here and we are already seeing quite a few animals suffering with embedded grass seeds.
Grass seeds wiggle their way anywhere…skin, eyes, ears, nose, tonsils, under the tongue, tear ducts, between toes, under the paws, arm pits, v***a, around the sc***um, a**l glands & the list goes on.
Please remember to check over your pets once a day for grass seeds. If you see a grass seed poking into your dog’s skin you can attempt to remove with a pair of tweezers.
For dogs on farm or those regularly exposed to grass seeds we recommended clipping long hair as seeds are often missed under a long coat & getting a “poodle paws” cut on all 4 paws.
If you need your animal clipped please give the clinic ring & book in. Please note depending on temperament sedation may be required for clipping & grass seed removal.
See the comments below for a few videos of grass seeds causing problems in the paws!
