I had to leave Lucy there...she has a foxtail up her nose, and they need to knock her out to remove it.  Depending on how busy they get, they might not be able to do it until midnight.  I hate having to leave any of my dogs at the vet, especially over-night, but with Lucy it's even worse...she's such a sensitive girl, and she always seems to be the one who's rushed to the vet for something.  Molly wasn't happy that her sister wasn't with me when I got home...she's on my bed, pouting right now, which is making me feel even more guilty.  

Then I overhear one of the vet techs on the phone telling someone that they only feed the dogs there Science Diet "unless they have a special diet/needs"  I hope they don't decide to feed Lucy any of that crap...she'd probably be too upset to eat anyways, but still...

I just want my baby girl to be okay...I hate it when any of my dogs are sick.

Poor thing - foxtails are NO fun! 

they're weeds common in this area, our property is covered with it.  they are about nose/eye level for most dogs, and they get them in their noses (eyes too), just by running through the tail weeds.

this is one that is still young...once the plant turns tan, the foxtail splits into a dozen or more pieces, and that's when they can get caught in a dog's nose.  there are a ton of other types of weeds like this, but foxtails are usually what causes the main problems...because of their shape, they can only go in, not out.

Owie!  Let us know how she is.....
