Our little Queen, Daenerys injured her tail last month. It’s unknown how as she just waltz in to our sons room when we were all playing sporting a new crooked tail... but all my research says that tail injuries are mostly from falls. This would make sense because she is by far the clumsiest cat I’ve ever met (falls off the cat tree, computer desk, runs into chairs, etc)
Anyways, I believe it is broken or dislocated, but my Veternarian (also former employer) treated her her laser treatment and believes the “break/dislocation” is just swelling in the cartilage and that overtime it is likely to improve (he did not do an X-ray). There is however NO nerve damage, because she wags it around fine (now she just looks ridiculous ), she doesn’t mind if you touch it, and honestly I don’t think she notices that it’s any different. I’ve been struggling with the idea that maybe I should get a second opinion though... Has anyone dealt with this type of injury? I’ve had cats all my life and have had lots of foster kittens when I worked in the Vet field and NEVER saw this! I want to make sure she gets the proper care but don’t want to see another Vet if I don’t have to.
Any advice is appreciated
