The Tail End

Tristan is finished with the tail wrapping. Two weeks ago he had another set of x-rays taken. His tail is taking a long time to heal so we did another two weeks of the splint. We're at a wait and see stage now. The vet doesn't think keeping the splint on is necessary and wants to see him again in September. Tristan definitely has a bumpy tail section but it doesn't seem to hurt and the tail end seems healthy.

So, wait and see we will. I'm not entirely convinced that Tristan won't re-injure it. He must really whack his tail around when he's outside in the backyard alone. The splint is a sturdy but moldable plastic type material and it was pretty mangled this last time when it was taken off.
