[QUOTE="Travlr, post: 1746434, member: 42463"] Foxtails in a dog's ears, between the toes, and in thick hair can work their way into some very bad places. In South Dakota I had some bad experiences with foxtails. The cows would ingest them and before they were swallowed they would occasionally work their way into the gum or the cheek, or even lower in the esophagus. They could cause an abscess. Some would get huge. I had to lance several and the volume of stuff that came out was amazing. I had one very nice heifer that got two of them and even after I lanced and drained them she never recovered properly. Until she got them she was on the list to be retained... but she went to the sale barn. [/QUOTE]
