I just found something rather odd with my new kit. After bringing him
back from the vet for his first rabies vaccine, I spent some time playing
with him and holding him. While stroking his tail I noticed a lump about
one inch from the tip of the tail. I checked further and realized that
it wasn't exactly a lump. It appeared to be a break in the tail that has
already healed. I came to this conclusion because the tail bends at
about a 45 degree angle right after the bump. Rascal shows no signs of
discomfort when I touch the area.
Just to let you know - Rascal is about 12 weeks old and already weighs in
at 2.2 pounds. He is a little fiesty and most certainly a biter. This I
attribute to his young age. Again, he shows no visible signs of pain or
discomfort. Should I have the vet look at it ASAP? Is there something I
can do? Should I be concerned at all?
Thanks for all of the help!!!!
