Ok, I have had it with these things....so far Max in his 3 .5 years of living has had both ears opened up surgically to remove clods of these things, and then next year, his paws had to be surgically opened (in between his TOES..ouch) to remove mass imbedded foxtails...tho
usands of denero, green back, money, hills of monetary slop...
A slightly successful photographer/graphic-web designer, does not make a ton of money in my area, because it is CRAZY competitive...
I REALLY don't want to see him go through this again, nor do I want to pay for another emergency slice and dice(who knows where they'll be this time...)
I clean ears daily, teeth, brush the monster long coats, and I did NOT see these things in my blond dog...Ella has still not had a problem perhaps because of the triple layer pyre coat..?, but Max...wow.
Now I check the toes very carefully every night, and we had the lawn covered with bark chips which seemed to work, but now, they are EVERYWHERE again, and I can't see any remedy that isn't either dangerous to the dogs, or kills the entire lawn along with the foxtails...the
y also embed in the carpet which makes me crazy.
Aside from grooming them daily and checking for these things, does anybody have any other help for these things? I'm in this house, explicitly for the back yard size, and fence, so that the pooches have their place to run and play, but each year I dread the foxtails...
