Take a empty toilet paper roll, duct tape it to the end of the tail keeping the tip just below the inside of the roll. Put triple antibiotic ointment on the tip till healed. Only use enough Tape to keep it on, and smooth the hair down before you tape it. Tari Kridler Home of 2003 Amer & Can GVX Kridler's Ruby and her Father 2 x Sel. Amer & Can Ch.

I'm sure some of you have had this problem. . .what did you do? My happy tail-wagger has wagged her tail so hard she has wounded the tip so that it actually bleeds. This began when she was in a chain-link run so I brought her in to be a house/back yard dog. I try to keep her positioned with her rear end toward the center of the room esp. when she first comes in and is so excited. But invariably she whacks it against a doorway or a chair or something hard and splits the barely-formed scab. So it never gets a chance to heal and the hair to grow back. This is just the very tip. Have any of you had this problem and what did you do to get it healed? -- Linda Kofstad "We can complain because rose bushes have thorns, or rejoice because thorn bushes have roses." ============================================================================ POST is Copyrighted 2006.
