Guest OPointyDog Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Holy cow! You've all been through a lot with that poor tail! Good for you for being persistent. I don't envy you (or him) all that time in a cone! Fingers crossed that this will be the end of the "greyt tail adventure"! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest blueberri Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh you poor buggers! What a trauma for you all Late to the scene, but sending healing prayers your way xxx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MP_the4pack Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Wow, that's a long time for a tail to heal! But I'm glad it's almost there. But at least he won't knock off Christmas tree ornaments or delicate knick-knacks off the coffee table now. (like mine have just done).

BatterseaBrindl Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Glad this 'tale' is finally coming to a happy ending!We had Dobes for a number of years, and it was a bit of a shock when we got our first Greyhound with his long, whippy tail always banging into things. .

a_daerr Posted December 18, 2012 Share Posted December 18, 2012 Oh wow... I can assure you, we too had a horrendous experience with happy tail. Post-amputation, it was months before the tail finally healed. We weren't able to e-collar Truman because we have a dog door, but for two months, we had him in a muzzle with a stool guard (he could undo his dressings with just a regular muzzle on). I tried everything after the plastic syringe cap failed, even resorting to self-adhesive pipe insulation. Although it's fully healed at this point, the hair grows back pure white due to all the continued trauma to the tail. We're hoping it stays healed, but if he ever gets happy tail again, I am fully prepared to have the thing docked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
