dmdsmoxie Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Just a little FYI: One of the people on AG just lost a 13 month old grey to this.. Dick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eaglflyt Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 Thanks for this reminder info., Dick. We had one of our dachsies develop an abcess from a foxtail several years ago. It took 2 - 3 months to figure out the source, remove the weed parts, and clear up the abcess. We've been very careful since then and try to keep them all mowed down as much as possible. We also try to keep all the dogs away from any area where they might be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arandomchic Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I would've never known this! I haven't seen any in our area, but will be more vigilant when we're out and about at parks.
