Has everything been fixed with your doggy's foxtail? Is he doing OK? My dog has the same problem and $1000 later, no fix yet. We are seeing a surgeon on Monday. Please update me if possible. Thanks!

My worry now is that the sneezing that Buddy has been doing in the last month, is due to 1 or more foxtails in this trachea or lungs. I'm on disability, and have no money for a vet. I've already imposed on the animal rescue group where I adopted Buddy, but they don't have the funds to explore his lungs or trachea. I live in Albuquerque. Can anyone offer ideas of what I can do for Buddy, before it's too late??

I pulled up this flyball website that was just put up - have no idea how to train for this but this looks like something my dog would absolutely love. Any idea if little dogs are welcome in any portion of this event? surely the bigger guys could outrun them on most days, but I would like to hear from anyone who knows about little dogs/flyball - he's a Toy Fox Terrier. (no tail Gina - no foxtail... *smiles* - ok, a teeny tiny one...)
