Meet Tobi ! Tobi came to us for a possible ear infection, but the culprit turned out to be a foxtail lodged deep in his ear canal. 🌾
Foxtails may look harmless, but these pesky grass awns can migrate into the ears, nose, eyes, paws, and even deeper tissues, causing pain, infection, and serious complications if left untreated. If your pet is shaking their head, pawing at their ears, sneezing excessively, or suddenly acting uncomfortable, don’t ignore it!
Thankfully, Tobi’s foxtail was removed, and he’s back to being the crazy (but much happier) Husky ❤️
Foxtail season is here!! Make sure to check your pets after walks, especially around the ears, paws, and coat, and seek veterinary care if something seems off. Early intervention can make all the difference!
