Just a thought...maybe something you would want to ask A&M?
I also am thinking it is the internal swelling that is causing the tip to protrude....poor little soul..... |
A&M is who told me to use ice packs...so I will stick with that. Funny, the tip was out when they handed him to me, but because they did not say anything, I just ignored it. It was when it was still out later that I got a bit concerned. My vet said to continue with what I am doing. We shall see...I do hope it is from the swelling...they manipulated a lot in there and he is a very tiny one..only weighs 3.6 pounds.
