Belle’s tail is healing. Last night my wife and I removed the elaborate bandage that was covering it to check the progress of the healing and to make sure there was no sign of infection. Things look as good as can be expected. They completely shaved about 4 inches of her tail and at the tip of is three sutures that are holding the “stump” closed. We re-bandaged the wound and gave her lots more love and a few treats. She was thoroughly unhappy that we were messing with her sore tail, but after a few treats, she did forgive us.
