Hi I am glad it didn't cost an arm and a leg to go to the vets.Your vet is quite right when he says they are notorious healers tails.I said in an earlier reply bout my dog jets tail having to be amputated.This was because :a)she kept hitting it on things when she wagged her tail and b) the vet we saw insisted that we did not require a head cone as jet wouldn't chew thru her bandage to chew the wound.Well how wrong the vet was and after numerous trips to get treatment for worse damage to her tail I began to notice ulcer like sores begining to appear futher down the healthy parts of her tail .Now not to freak you out I was changing the bandages and treating daily it began to smeel and look grey so we popped back to the vets where I lost the plot thank goodness mum was with me and we told the vets that the wound was turning grey and spreading It was then that the vets said "sorry" we will have to operate to remove the dead tissue well half a tail l8ta jet is happy and waves her windmill round and round love and hugs to both you and the sweetie of a dog
Both my dogs send woof woofs to the dog
