And it broke, there's another half inch in there. Bottom of foot, right under pinkie toe joint. Hurt for a few weeks, I thought I stepped on something and had a bone bruise. It's so tender and painful when you gently touch it I about jump out of my skin. Might have to visit the Dr tomorrow, not sure I can handle anymore do it yourself surgery with sewing needles and tweezers.

I'm not sure how wounded civil war vets dealt with their amputation surgeries.

Yeah, get that out. Sounds like it might already be infected.  Dog skin/hair is full of nasty microbials.  No problem on the outside of the body, but when incubated inside the body. . . .well, you're feeling it.

Just to clarify - is the whiskey applied externally, or taken internally?

Dog hairs are like needles. You won't feel them going in, but after it's in there for about a week all hell breaks loose.

I remember Sunday nights.
The whole family would gather around the TV and watch Mutual of Omaha's Wild Kingdom and Disney. Maybe have some popcorn.

But.....gathering around as a family and pulling dog hair out of your foot?
Hey.....if that's what you guys do...then good for you. Who am I to judge?
Enjoy your evening.
I bet "Trimming Grandpa's nose hair night" is just as riveting!

I have never heard of this either.  Don’t know how it would happen if you are wearing shoes, slippers or at least socks.  

Don’t know anyone who goes bare feet around their house, I guess because of things like this.

I get them quite often.

I have a couple Boston Terriers with short stiff hairs. The hair will get embedded in a sock and work its way into the skin.

I usually will not feel it until it hits a nerve then it will feel like a nail is in my foot.

I used to get hair splinters all the time when my Great Dane was still around. Doesn’t seem to be a problem with shepherds and retrievers.

It’s a fur splinter. I have one right now. Get them all the time. I’m amazed at how annoying they are.

Remember the arf guy who had his dog jump up on him while he was sleeping and the dog’s nails gouged into his cornea?

She carries one of these and calls it her "Incase I need to cut a bitch." Razor

My son told her she needed to use that, I told him he needs to shut up before I stuff him in the herby curby outside.

And a shot of whiskey for internal santitation.  Cleanse the blood that way.

I think the doc would tell you to let it fester and then it should come out on its own. Heard my vet tell a dog owner about that re: porqupine quills.

When I was 13/14 years old or so I woke up in the middle of the night to take a piss, I stubbed my toe on a wicker basket on the way to the bathroom and didn’t really think about it. A couple days later it started to get more and more difficult for me to walk because I had an incredible amount of pain in my foot. I had a baseball game coming up in a day and was worried that I couldn’t play because I could barely walk. My mom said let me look at your foot before we head to the doctor, she pulled a long ass 3 inch splinter out of my toe that I didn’t know was there and it was instant relief.

Lab?  I never could figure those out. It bothers you for a day or so and you finally go "What is that?" and look at it and it's a dog hair.

Anyway, quit being a pussy.

IIRC, human hair has a higher tensile strength than copper of the same diameter. I'm assuming dog fur is a bit more stronger and likelier to stick into the skin.

The hairs get into your socks and work their way in.  It’s happened to be at least a dozen times.
