Wanna see something crazy?

I woulda stopped after that first burr got stuck, but what do I know...I'm not a dog.

Just gonna have to do a mouth sweep from time to time, but hopefully they will soften up a bit as I see many pricks in your future.

How much to find out it wasn't a bad tooth from the vet...their bills always always amaze me?? Also, you need to touch up your nails!!

Dogs can digest them if they get them down, don’t ask how I know.

He was not eating them he was pulling them out of his paws. I have grass burs at my place and I have two standard poodles. They step on them and get them caught in the hair all the time. The burs get caught in their teeth when they pull them out. Been dealing with that for years.

Maybe he was picking them up so you didn’t step on them.

Ouch! That had to be painful. Today, I sprayed Image on a patch of sand burrs in our yard. I sure hope it works, I am tired of pulling them every few days.

Probably not. Timing is everything and they need to be sprayed before they produce the seed heads. Generally, spray in mid spring - March.

Poor dog. That had to hurt .... I hate those things.

Wonder if any are stuck in his intestines?

I’ve seen dogs with 30-40 sand burrs stuck in the back of their mouth like this pup. All from pulling them out of their feet with their mouth.

I saw one dog (Labrador) years ago that died from peritonitis (infection in the abdomen around the organs). On autopsy, found one speargrass (foxtail) seed that had been swallowed and migrated through the intestinal wall.

Both sandburs and speargrass can be nasty.

Probably just eating grass like dogs do, and getting burrs also
