foxtails
Spiky grass plumes
Foxtails are grasses with soft, brushy seed heads that resemble a fox's tail.
The spiky seeds can work their way into a dog's skin, ears, or nose, causing serious injury—a concern for pet owners in areas where foxtails grow wild.
The vet removed a foxtail from the dog's ear.
