what's wrong with tyson's tail!!!!???? just a moment ago I was looking at Tyson's tail and I found something strange and I'm soooo afraid that it's something very wrong!..I found like a ring before the tip of his tail that skin got off and it looks like if it's falling off..the ring is a greyish colour and it's like a hole all around his tail on that spot(which is right before the tip of his tail) what might it be!?looks like the tip's going to fall off and he doesn't like it when we touch it and sometimes he tries to bite it..I can tell it's bothering him,does anyone know what it might be!? :( |
And nothing happened since we got him that could have hurt him!:( |
And he's 7 1/2 weeks old |
Could it be a problem with ring worms? He's young enough to require deworming. Also, since this fungus is contagious to humans and other animals, keep clean and don't rub up against him and be careful of where he licks. Get it checked by the vet to verify. I'm sure you will anyway since he'll be needing his 8 week puppy shots. |
I had a cat (she was a feral kitten) who used to suck the end of her tail and it got like this...she ended up needing the end of her tail amputated. He needs to see the vet right away to make sure it isn't something dangerous to his health and if it turns out he is causing the problem, getting his tail wrapped so he can't get to it while it heals. |
he bites his tail...might be that bcz he just got his worm shot and medicine about a week or 2 ago! |
I'll take a picture of it when I come home from school and I'll post it here! If I'm not working |
1 Attachment(s) here's a picture of his tail if anyone know's what it is please tell me!:( |
i think it might be up to the bone....he hates it when we touch it so it was hard to take a picture |
call the vet! Did he get it caught in something!? |
Hope you find out what it is and take care of it, poor baby, I wonder if he\'s in pain. Good luck to you. |
Is his tail docked? |
euhmm i dont know if he got caught in something when the lady had it, but here he is watched all the time even during the day because my mom stays at home and he didnt get it caught while he was here. i sent a picture to my friend , she is a vet tech and if she doesnt know what it is she is going to show the pictures to the vet she works with. I want to bring him to a vet but my mom doesnt believe me thats its not normal, she said that he bites his tail, but i dont think a dog would hurt himself for nothing so I called my friend. |
no we didnt dock his tail :S |
If he\'s biting his tail, it\'s for a reason. Something is bothering him, or hurting. Poor little guy. I\'m sure he will be fine. I would wait to hear from your friend, then take him to the vet. You don\'t want whatever it is to get infected. It is totally not normal though. Something is going on there. Good luck and keep us posted. Sending him great big hugs.:ghug: |
