Caring for my friends
Tuesday, April 29th, 2008Oh no! Cinnamoroll is sick {=T.T=} She hurt her tail and now she is having a hard time!
Now I searched the internet and
I found this solution! It’s a wrap thing! There were even intructions on the website I found it in:
When a dog has a wound on the tip of his tail it can be very hard to get healed, especially if it’s a dog that wags his tail a lot.
My local vet showed me a really cool idea to fix dog’s tail when it is hurt or cut. Go to your local hardware store and buy a piece of pipe insulation (see photo) and some elastic sticky tape.
Cover the tip of the tail with a good antibiotic. Cut a six inch piece of the insulation and slide the insulation over the tail (do not put a bandage on the tail). Leave part of the insulation showing so the tail can have contact to air. This will help the healing.
Wrap half of the insulation and then several inched up the tail hair. With luck your dog will leave this alone. I like to use a type of tape that looks exactly like and elastic bandage that is sticky on one side.
If your dog trys to pull the wrap off the tail, you may have to muzzle him, I did not have to do this to my dog.
I hope now, Cinnamoroll will feel better!
