    Exclamation DEGLOVED TAIL!!

    So I just woke up to see that peanut has degloved part of her tail, and I had a bit of a freak out. Cleaned it very well with bedodine, as well as applied a thin layer of neosporin. The actually degloved part is probably about a half inch on the end of her tail. There's exposed bone, and a tiny bit of blood. The rest of her tail is just bare skin with some fur. I'm really scared it will get infected, and am wondering what antibotics I can give her, and dosage. Thank you guys

    This will be fine. There's no need for antibiotics. The bone will dry up and either it will fall off or she will chew it off. It's a very common situation.

    Just keep it clean and it should dry and drop off. It's very common.
