🌾 Grass Seed Season Is Here! 🐾
Grass seeds may look harmless, but they can cause painful problems for our pets. They can become lodged in ears, paws, eyes, noses, and even burrow under the skin, often requiring veterinary treatment.
Today, one of our nurses, Jess, had to bring her dog Rolo in to be sedated so we could safely remove a grass seed from his ear. Thankfully, he’s doing well and is already on the road to recovery! ❤️
🪧Keep an eye out for signs such as:
• Head shaking or scratching at the ears
• Excessive licking or chewing at the paws
• Sneezing or nasal discharge
• Squinting or excessive eye watering
• Swellings, redness, or sudden limping
After walks, especially through long grass or fields, it’s a good idea to check your pet’s ears, paws, coat, and between their toes for any grass seeds.
If you notice any of these signs or think your pet may have picked up a grass seed, please contact us as soon as possible. Early treatment can prevent a much bigger problem.
Get well soon, Rolo! 🐶💚
