As advertised in The Listing August Issues – Be Vigilant to the Danger of Grass Seeds…

During warm summer months, grass seeds are a common danger to our dogs, and at times cats too. These seeds can cause a lot of pain, discomfort, infection and more complex health issues such as allergic reactions, infections, respiratory issues, obstructions in the digestive system and damage to organs. The common areas that these seeds can effect are the paws and ears. However, these seeds can also cause serious damage to many other areas of the body including eyes, nose, airways, mouth and even the stomach. Ingestion of grass seeds can lead to abscesses in the lungs. If a seed gets into a dog’s eye, it can cause corneal abrasions and ulcerations leading to vision loss. Prevention is better than cure! Always be vigilant whilst out on walks and check ears, eyes and paws for any grass seeds after every walk. Please contact the practice if you need medical attention or advice – 01763 242221
