Okay I need some support from the experienced Breeders. My husband thinks I'm nuts but I am an over protective mom - what can I say?
I did take Scout to the vet and her tail was infected as I thought. They gave me something to clean it with and some meds to fight the infection. I am having the hardest time cleaning her poop because it sticks right to the end of her poor sore tail. This morning when I woke up her tail was stuck to her bottom. I called the vet and they told me to hold the tail with a warm wash cloth until it softened. I did that and finally got to clean her bottom. But her tail is RAW! It doesn't seem to me the stitches are holding anything together. I see a little white dot in the middle of all the raw skin... is that normal???? It seems so sore... the vet probably thinks I have lost my mind... but I just want to be doing everything possible. I don't even know what a docked tail is supposed to look like. Thanks for your help = ) |
