What Are Foxtails?

Foxtails are barbed seed heads from certain grasses. Once they attach to your pet, they only move forward, burrowing deeper into tissue instead of backing out.

🚨 Why Foxtails Are Dangerous
They don’t break down in the body
They keep moving forward, causing damage as they go
They can lead to severe infections, abscesses, or internal migration
