Yesterday we were in the car going to the dog park and Kelsey was getting excited and as I made the turn she must have extended her claws - right on Sterling's tail!! He pulled away and let out a small yelp. Not realizing what exactly happened I let them out of the car and off they ran to their favorite smelling places in the park. I was walking towards them and I see Sterls flank is " brindle looking" (he's a white and fawn) next I see his tail is RED!!! He had 3 big gashes in his tail!! I got them both in the car, went back to the apt., applied first aid, called the vet and now he has a beautiful BLUE bandage on 2/3s of his tail. What a day.......Not to mention cleaning the car!
