I noticed my dog was squinting and I looked in her eye and up between her eye and lid I could see a foxtail. I was able to pull it out without too much effort. It looked completely intact. She is opening her eye and acting normal, it is just a little red. I am nervous about infection. Does anyone know if I need to flush it with anything or should I wait and see if she heals on her own? I know pulling it out is not ideal but it is late here and I couldn't wait till morning to go to the vet. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
i don't know... if she is acting normal and doesn't seem to be messing with her eye much, i would say you could wait and give the vet a call in the morning.
Thank you,
She is looking even better as the night goes on. I put a warm washcloth on her eye. I did not flush it out with anything and i think I'll call the vet in the morning. So far so good! I know I got lucky. Just hoping an infection doesn't develop.
Even if she looks okay, I think a vet trip is in order. Eyes are obviously very sensitive and you'd want to rule out an ulcer. Some pets are very stoic and show few signs so I think it would be wise to just get it checked out to make sure.
