As the weather gets better, we start to spend more time outside with our pet friends. It can be a great activity to take your friend and walk in the green parks with the smell of flowers.
However, there are some plant and insect species to be aware of during these walks. Let’s take a closer look at flounder, which looks harmless from the outside, but can have quite dangerous consequences.
It is likely that the flounder, which breaks into serrated pieces when dry, sticks to your friend.
Raspberry, which grows from spring to autumn, is a common plant that almost all of us have encountered before, also known as wild barley. Besides being able to appear everywhere; mostly found in grassland areas.
At the end of the season, it dries up and breaks into pieces, and its jagged and thorny parts can stick to animals and cause serious health problems that can lead to death.
It can progress through their bodies for months or years without you noticing.
flounder, which can pose a serious danger to both cats and dogs; can sting into their ears, nose, paws, mouth, throat, and eyes, causing serious infection under the skin and painful abscesses.
Grass stuck in a part of your friend with its paws, moves forward as the animal moves, almost pierces the skin and makes way for itself. Moreover, since the awns are resistant to fragmentation in the body, they can progress in the body for months, sometimes years.
While it is easily hidden in long-haired animals, it can suddenly sink into short-haired animals.
Because it is easier to hold and hide, it is more likely to sting on long-haired cats and dogs, but in short-haired animals it can easily enter through the armpits, vagina or penis, again causing dangerous situations.
For dogs, since it is a pleasant grass to chew, it can have fatal consequences, including perforation of the stomach wall when swallowed and swallowed. Likewise, it poses a risk to curious cats who sniff or bite everything. In fact, one of the most common issues veterinarians come across is cats getting squid in their noses or eyes.
Symptoms may appear days later.
If you see the flounder weed stinging on your friend, you should intervene immediately. Some of the remaining part of the part you grasped and pulled may have entered the skin. You can try to pull it out with tweezers, but the healthiest thing would be to consult a veterinarian.
Sometimes, you may not notice the weed has set in and symptoms may not appear for days. In such a case, the infection has already started to spread when symptoms begin a few days later.
You should observe your friend well and take him to the vet when faced with a different situation.
You should take it to a veterinarian as soon as possible, as a veterinarian will do the best treatment for an animal with scurvy. If you are unconsciously stinging and show symptoms such as lameness, ear shaking, keeping your head tilted, itching, sneezing, you should consult your doctor.
In addition, it is always useful to keep an eye on your friend while hiking, especially in the spring.
