Macro photo of a tiny arrowheads of the foxtail grass. When a dog enters my consulting room shaking its head or licking its paw during the summer months, top of my list of possible diagnoses is always the dreaded grass seed. Dry Foxtail grass seeds resemble tiny arrowheads easily attaching themselves to an animal’s fur before travelling only one way in towards the skin of that victim’s bodypart.
