- Missi -- With Gizmo and Hershey never far from my heart
Sunday, Gizmo kept going after Hershey trying to lick his tail area, ok, she does try to lick him, but not usually that area. So I go to check him out after she's been trying this a few times in a few hours.
Oh NUTS ! we have Tail issues with Hershey ! ! ! (for those of you that didnt know, we had to go through Tail Surgery for Gizmo due to a deep tail pocket which wouldnt heal properly)
Long story short, I got him to the Vet immediately Monday morning, and its an infection / hot spot. Our poor boy is so uncomfortable. The Vet gave him an injection, and we have a prescription spray for his tail. He thinks someone is nibbling at his backside, and is to the point of backing into his kennel and not coming out. I had to put water under his chin for him to drink (While he is in the kennel) and the same with some of his food.
The poor boy scoots, and spins, and just can't get comfortable. I'm glad we had some of his pain meds left over from before his knee surgery. I'm hoping that it helps him. I'm thinking that when they clipped the hair around his tail, that he's getting poked now by the hair, I'm not sure, but he isnt a happy Hershey right now
