Foxtails and lily

Lily's eye was was irritated one day and the next it was awful! I had to work quite a long day yesterday, so I asked a favor and had my mom take her to the vet for me. The vet was worried she would have to put lil under sedation because there was a foreign object in her eye. Lily being the tolerant good girl she is let the vet pull an intact foxtail out. Not sure whats going to happen with her vision. She has a check up next week.

I'm so proud of my girl being so tolerant of the vet. Especially when I wasn't there. She's been tolerant of the drops, my son and bully even though her eye obviously hurts. She has such an exceptional temperament.

Does anyone know how to get rid of foxtails in your yard?

Foxtails are awful. What a brave girl!
Poor Lily, what a wonderful girl she was at the vets. Hope she has a quick recovery. Bless your mom for taking her. :hearts: :hearts:
I hate fox tails!! we've had issues with more than one dog.
I don't know about eradication but keeping your grass really short helps as you will keep triming the part of the plant that grows the nasty fox tail.
That's has worked for us in the yard. Unfortunately the two dogs with major probs were from going on walks. :cry:
Well her eye looks so much better, however it's raining so any foxtail eradication has to wait.
Poor girl. The drops you put in her eye should relieve the pain. Such a good girl to be tolerant at the vet, makes everything so much easier.
Oh, I hope all the barbs are out. Foxtails...........ARGH!
Her eye is doing much better! There is a slight "I don't wanna mom!" moment before I put in the drops. She's obviously feeling way better.
so glad to hear her eye looks better and she seems to be doing better.
