As well as taking care of the extremely hot weather, this time of year also means that we see a number of dogs that get grass seeds in their paws.
If you spot them early, you can remove them with tweezers…. But after about a week, the grass seed burrow between the toes like living pieces of pure evil and cause intense pain and infection requiring sedation or anaesthesia to remove them.

The video below is of my spaniel that had 3 grass seeds removed from a single lesion.

Has your dog had any grass seeds lately that you’ve had to remove ?

🍖☀️ BBQ season is here! ☀️🍖

Meet Goose. He may have become a favourite here at Blacksheep Vets, but today he's being used as a warning to other four-legged BBQ enthusiasts!

Goose and his family were enjoying a BBQ when he decided to help himself to a chicken skewer, leaving everyone wondering who had eaten the last one. A few days later, Goose became very poorly and very quickly. His owners soon realised that he must have been the culprit behind the missing skewer.

Their quick thinking may have saved his life. They brought Goose straight to us and let us know they suspected he had eaten a chicken skewer.
Goose was admitted immediately and underwent emergency surgery, during which the skewer was safely removed. We're delighted to say that Goose is now back home with his family and recovering well (although we're not sure he'll be invited to many more BBQs!).

Wishing you a speedy recovery, Goose. As much as we loved meeting you, we'd much rather see you for routine appointments only. ❤️
