This is such important information! We live in California and foxtails are everywhere in our neighborhood during summer. My golden retriever got one lodged in his paw last year and we didn't notice until he was limping badly. $400 vet bill later, lesson learned. Now I check his paws after every single walk.
So sorry to hear about your golden, Sarah! You're doing exactly the right thing now with the post-walk checks. It really does become second nature after a while. Glad he recovered well!
I had no idea these could migrate through tissue. That's terrifying. We just moved to Oregon from the east coast and I've never even heard of foxtails before. Going to be much more careful on our hikes now. Thank you for this article.
As a veterinarian, I can confirm we see dozens of foxtail cases every summer. The ear cases are especially urgent — please don't wait if your dog is shaking their head violently after being in tall grass. Great article overall, very accurate information.
