** GRASS SEEDS** Well grass seed season is well and truly here, I have attached signs and symptoms your pets may display if they are troubled by grass seeds. Toes and feet • swelling on the foot, often with a ‘weeping’ hole • excessive licking or chewing Toes and feet The grass seed has the potential to travel up your dog’s leg between tendons and ligaments, even up to the shoulder or the groin! Ears • shaking head or scratching ear • painful to touch ear Ears Grass seeds lodged inside the ear canal can cause chronic infection, and even rupture of the ear drum, causing serious problems with the deeper structures of the ear (the middle or inner ear canal). Eyes • squinting or rubbing eye • swollen eye with or without discharge Eyes Occasionally grass seeds can penetrate through the cornea (outer layer of the eye) and there is a risk that your dog may lose that eye.
