Last Sunday Jax managed to eat a few foxtails. I suspect that he usually gets away with this behavior but this time his esophagus was scratched and it triggered several hours of hacking and gagging. At about 4 AM Monday morning I brought him to the hospital and was informed a specailist would need to perform an endoscopy to investigate. At 9 PM Monday we picked up Jax, a bunch of medicine, and a baggy full of foxtails they took out of his stomach. Its been a bit over a week now and I brought him for his first morning walk where he proceed to run to the nearest unmowed patch of foxtails and attempted to eat a few.
Dogs are awesome.
