Foxtail season is here. These small grass seeds can attach to your pet’s fur and work their way into the eyes, ears, nose, paws, or skin, leading to painful infections and serious health issues.

Watch for signs like limping, trouble breathing, swelling or redness, constant licking or scratching, head shaking, or unexplained wounds.

If you notice any of these symptoms, seek urgent care right away. The team at EPIC Vets is here to help when your pet needs immediate attention.

April through the end of fall is foxtail season.

Foxtails are dangerous to pets as they can easily embed themselves in your pet’s eyes, ears, nose, paws, and skin. Foxtails have sharp seeds that are covered by sharp hair-like structures called awns that easily attach to your pets and can work their way deeper into their tissue, causing serious health issues.

This sweet senior decided an 18” plush alligator was a good snack.

A foreign body = anything your pet eats that isn’t meant to be digested—and it can quickly become a surgical emergency. Just weeks ago, Finnegan needed surgery for a similar issue… but this time? ✨ luck was on his side ✨

We were able to retrieve his “prize” through emesis—no surgery needed 🍀🐊

⚠️ If you suspect your pet ate something they shouldn’t, sooner is always better than later.

Stay lucky 💚
