Pet First Aid – by Australia’s travelling vet

A grass seed or prickle is embedded in my pet’s skin or paw

In this video, Dr. Tania will teach you how to remove a grass seed from your dog using your Vet in a Van – Navigator Pet First Aid Kit. Grass seeds can get stuck in your dog’s fur then penetrate the skin causing pain, swelling, infection or an abscess. Grass seeds are commonly found lodged in the paws, ears, or around the armpits, groin or tail. Be aware when travelling with your dog especially if your dog has been running through long grass or in an area with different grass seeds, bindis, burrs or prickles. Reduce the risk of grass seeds by keeping your dog’s coat short and checking their fur daily for grass seeds. It is simple and easy to remove a grass seed from your dog in just a few minutes following these instructions. *

NOTE: If the grass seed is deeply embedded, painful for your dog or swelling or pus is present then please seek veterinary advice. Always check for more grass seeds if you have found one causing a problem.
