I know this has been discussed, but has anyone come up with anything conclusive about tail hair-loss??? My 2 year old looks terrible. Her tail is covered with blackheads and dark patches, the hair is very thin, and the skin is reddish(where it isnt dark) As for the rest of her, she is very thin and boney. We have a young female who is quite pudgy so I might just be comparing the two... also she sleeps a lot (compared to the younger one) although she does get pretty active while playing. Any info would be appreciated! (yes, I will be taking the 2 of them to the vet as soon as I get some cash!!) Please e-mail me directly.
