Well, I knew it would happen sooner or later for Mac. It looks like he may have potential to get some nasty infections going on under that tail. I always clean out his bottom with wipes but looks like i'll have to switch to a drying agent. I just cleaned it out because he was scooting and that's something he never ever does. Worst smell ever and raw as heck. I've been so busy going back to work after our move that I've obviously neglected his little tushie. He's resting better now and stopped scooting after I gave it a thorough cleaning, dried it with alcohol (only thing I had) and put his Desitin in. He REALLY enjoyed his Desitin on a q-tip might I add. I'll keep on it all weekend and set up a schedule for a nightly ritual and hopefully we can remember to stick with it. Even if I have to add it to my phone calendar I will. Questions: which is better to dry it out, rubbing alcohol or witch hazel? Which medicated pads are best for those tail pockets? I don't need them for their ropes, destin keeps them beautifully dry and clean. I just don't want it to get bad so hopefully I can figure out how to maintain it. Thanks!
