Foxtails are barbed grass seed heads that can enter a dog’s body and cause serious injury. Avoid affected areas, check your dog after exposure and contact your veterinarian promptly for persistent sneezing, head shaking, eye discomfort, limping or a suspected embedded seed. Do not probe into skin, ears, eyes or the nose yourself.
