Emergency Foxtail Removal for Pets in San Diego
Foxtails are a common hazard for pets in San Diego, especially during warmer months. These sharp grass awns can easily embed in your pet’s skin, ears, nose, paws, or eyes, causing pain, infection, and serious complications. At WAG Animal ER, we offer 24/7 emergency foxtail removal to keep your pet safe and comfortable.
Symptoms of foxtail penetration include persistent scratching, swelling, discharge, limping, or unusual behavior. Because foxtails can migrate under the skin, it’s important to seek veterinary care immediately if you suspect your pet has been exposed.
Our experienced veterinary team uses advanced diagnostic tools such as X-rays and ultrasound to locate and safely remove foxtails. We provide thorough wound cleaning and prescribe antibiotics if necessary to prevent infection and promote healing.
If your pet shows signs of foxtail injury or discomfort, don’t wait. Call WAG Animal ER in San Diego immediately. We’re available 24/7 to provide fast, expert foxtail removal and compassionate emergency care when your pet needs it most.
