Glad to hear Baby is doing well! Judie, did the
vet ever determine what was causing the swelling
at the base of his tail? When we got Gizmo, part
of his tail was already gone. He also had swelling
at the base around his anal gland. The remaining
portion of his tail was dead to the point it had
to be amputated completely. Had to go back so far
that there was not enough skin left to completely
be stitched over the opening. The
vet ran several
tests, some of which we do not have the results yet.
However the cause for the swelling was not determined. We have him on Baytril & Flagyl to try and eliminate as many problems as possible.
Leaves us in the dark though. Don't know if the
swelling was from him chewing on his tail, or if
the swelling was from something else and caused
him to start the chewing.
sounds like you and your
vets did a great job with
your baby. Take care of yourself, at times like
this we forget people need rest too!
