Lab chewing tail bloody. 1 Attachment(s) I know he isn't a cute little yorkie, but my Labrador is the love of my life right alongside Lola. Sammy has been chewing at his tail lately and I noticed today that its bloody and bald. I cleaned it with some Hydrogen Peroxide, put some neosporin on it, and wrapped it with gauze and some tender tape. He's done this before, and it isn't caused by allergies. He has fleas which I'm treating him for but the little buggers are stubborn. I would take him to the vet but I cant afford it. Any suggestions to help? If it doesn't look better in a few days I'm gonna bite the bullet and take him in. |
Poor baby. I would bite the bullet now and get him to a vet now. Fleas this time of year should be easier to get under control with the right products. Hope he feels better soon. |
Thats what I'm going to do. I'm worried it might be a skin allergy instead. Will post on how hes doing. My husband had to hold him down so I could dress the wound and Sam tried to bite him from the pain. (Not from being held down, from me touching his tail). Its so upsetting to hear my 115lb tough guy crying from pain. |
how is he doing? |
Can you put a cone (like the ones used after surgery) on him to keep him from being able to chew on his tail while you determine the cause (fleas, allergies, etc.)? |
There's another thread about Sammy. Sammy was taken to the vet.:) http://www.yorkietalk.com/forums/gen...ml#post3765848 Still praying Sammy feels better soon! |
