Yeah those are awful...I'm a groomer and we get dogs all the time with foxtails stuck in their skin. I've groomed dogs with literally hundreds of foxtails imbedded in the skin all over. The other day I groomed a dog that had one stuck in the corner of her eye. Keva got one stuck up her nose once and I had to take her the emergency vet. It's good to post though I'm surprised how many people don't know about them. I always try to tell owners when I find foxtails in their dog so they can watch out for them and most people don't have a clue what they are. They are really bad to get stuck in between toes and get infected that is pretty common.
