Lately the end of Saffy's tail has turned a blackish color. She is a two and a half YRO DEW who has never shown any health problems. I have bathed her just to make sure that it was not dirt. I should let you know this is the meat of the tail not the fur. Does anyone have any ideas? I am planning on taking her to the vet this week to get her shot but figured I would check here. No hair loss, eating well and maintaining good weight. She was a little lonely after losing Possum and Ootz but is her old bouncy self now. Thanks, Ed [Posted in FML issue 3488]
