oh boy, get well soon... :roll:
Balu had such an accident back in June 2000 and again 2 weeks ago!
The first 'grass dart' had to be removed by using a minor anaesthetic injection as it was just next to the ear accoustic ...(i miss the word now!) and it was far too risky to try to reach this area while Balu was fully concious, the second one.... we were lucky, the vet cought it instantly as it wasn't too deep, but the pain while removing it must have been quite a lot
So... what I did was to cut the ear-hair... and don't allow her to go in the fields, at least not too deep in some fields, now that these 'darts' are dry!
