Tails Bleeding

Erin · 30-05-2007, 08:37 AM

Tinkerbells tail is bleeding,she has been sat cleaning her self after breakfast and I just this second noticed its bleeding,I dont know what shes done,they have both just been sat cleaning them selves,what should i do?should I just clean it up and see if it stops or take her straight to the vets?
There is quite alot of blood on the sheets where she was lay,she doesnt seemed bothered by it though.

Can you see where it is bleeding from? i.e. is it a puncture wound or what?

I cant see anything Fran,its right on the very tip of her tail,shes sat licking it now.

How strange

I'd be inclined to bathe the end of her tail and keep an eye on it Erin...

Ill do that now,if there is a puncture wound its a tiny one,its not pouring with blood there just a tiny bit of wet fur right at the end of her tail.I just panicked when I saw the blood.

Clip a little hair away if you need to so you can see what's happened.
She may have just knoocked it or caught it & once they bleed they don't stop for ages... bleeding tails & ears

(more in dogs than cats really)

Anyway bathe it & see what it's like.

Stop worrying so much about your little munchkins.

PS - Did you see the sun newspaper yesterday? Choc & Lil were in there!

Ill clip some the hair away then,she wont be happy she now curled up asleep with Milo so it isnt really bothering her that much.
I know I worry to much,gotta stop that but they are only ickle!!!!!!
No I didnt see the Sun,wjat do you mean Choc and Lil were in there?Was there look alikes of my babies in there?

Ive just gone to clip some fur off the end of Tinks tail,its stopped bleeding,shall I just leave it because its gone all dry?Im worried if I do clip some off im going to start it all off again.

I'd probably try & cean it with some hibiscrub or diluted savlon.

Yes Choc & Lil were on page (?) 28 maybe? I'll send it to you in the post!
