Toy Poodle Dog - left hind leg "Seed"?

[Miss Mandy]

I took my toy poodle to get his general 6 week clip and wash today, and when I picked him up an hour and a half later, the lady who clipped him suggested I take him to the vet. I asked why and she said he had a "Seed" - I nodded and walked away to put my poodle in the car and found that his left hind leg was bleeding. It has since stopped bleeding and I have booked him into the Vet for tonight, but what is a "seed"? Is it like a tag of skin the dog clipper cut off? Or is it like a tic that got under his skin?
After speaking with a friend who's family breeds German Sheps, she said a seed is a term for a tag of skin that forms on some dog's skin. So I'm assuming the dog clipper must have cut it off by either accident or on purpose. Anyway - Vet said he would put my toy poodle on some antibiotics. Hopefully all shall be well!

only thing i can think of is a plant seed...and before you laugh, these can be quite serious to a dog. this is the time of year when seeds become an issue for dogs that may walk in higher grasses, since the plant has dried out. it's now sharp and able to catch on fur easily. things like Foxtails seeds (or grass seeds or any number of other plants that have dried by this time of year) can imbed in a dog's skin, causing an abscess or infection...and when they lodge someplace more sensitive like an eye, ear or nostril? big problems if it's not removed. and given the barbs on these, they generally need to be removed by a vet.

so it may have been something like that she saw.
