Injured tailThe ginger nightmare herself has injured her tail somehow, she was very 'irratable' at about half past three and kept hissing at the dogs whenever they went near her back end, so I had a looksie..and about halfway up her big squirrel tail is what can only be described as a 'wound', thats 'sticky' and is weeping puss, and it seems she's made it worse by cleaning it like a mad woman. Lord knows where it comes from, but its really causing her annoyance/pain. Vet couldn't fit us in this evening as they are so busy today, she has an appointment for tomorrow afternoon and we have to bathe in salt water for now. But she is not a happy moggy!

Hugs and good luck to Bella Luke. Be very rigorous with the bathing and hopefully it'll all turn out ok. Good job you spotted it early enough as these things can be hard to identify. |

Well here's hoping it just needs cream or something, it seems just like a wound as if she has caught it on/in something..but has gotten quite weepy in the past few hours n she's a very unhappy mog. I've shut her in one of the bedrooms with me, away from the rest of the motley crew so they do not aggravate things. |

I do hope this wound clears up and the beautiful girl doesn't have to become a Manx, like Jennie. I'm sure you'll let us know as soon as you can Luke |

Sounds to me like a bite that has got infected and abcessed. Amber had one of those on her tail a few months back - I noticed one day that she had a little scab on her tail when I was stroking her but I didn't really worry about it too much. Then about a week later I was stroking her, ran my hand down her tail and found a little lump. When I touched it she hissed at me and scratched me. Took her to the vets the next day and turns out it was a bite wound that had abcessed - it burst when we shaved the area  the vet just gave it a good clean, a weeks worth of antibiotics to clear the infection, and I was to bathe it twice a day with either salt water or hibiscrub.It soon healed up  hope everything is ok with the vets! |
