Our Greyhound/Dobe cross is an enthusiastic and strong tail-wagger. I
noticed he was licking his tail yesterday and realized that all the dogs
were overdue for their Frontline. Figured he'd picked up some fleas and
it itched. I applied Frontline.

Then last night while we were all sleeping, he tried to chew off his tail.
Got halfway there, too. Blech. Took him to the vet. He'd broken it
about 2 inches from the end, it hurt, thus the chewing. She amputated,
and he's now got a six-inch nub and recovering from the operation with a
bright orange bandage on it.



Oh my GOD, HOW HORRIFIC.
I'm sorry that both you and he had to deal with that.
Wishing him a very speedy recovery.
