<div><font size="4">This happened awhile back, she was in the garage with us while
unloading groceries, etc. and my dad was in the passenger side, and when he got
out, he shut the door, and somehow or another, just the very tip of her tail got
caught, and she screamed and screamed. We got the door open right away,
and her tail never did bleed, it was the very tip. We brought her to the vet,
and he said it was not broken just really gonna be bruised. It turned
into a blood blister type thing, and it is still swollen on the end. We
went to the vet again, and he said just leave it alone, it doesn't hurt
her. He told me, don't go poking it, I wanted to get that dried blood or
whatever it is out of there, he said I would just make it worse, it could get
infected, and he has had to amputate parts of tails off because that is what can
happen. Any suggestions anyone? He keeps telling me to "leave it alone",
but she has had it for about a yr. now, and it still looks the same, it don't
seem to bother her at all, and she never looks at it, or washes it or anything,
anyone else have this unfortunate thing happen?????????</font></div>
