Does anybody have any idea what this could be?... They are blackheads. My PB (a DEW) has the very same problem. I wash his tail about once every two weeks with a mild soap. I know of others who have used shampoo designed for acne. Washing the blackheads away will help the hair grow back and make her tail less itchy.

They wouldn't constitute a complete diet tho. As a treat or extra they are great. That being said, hard boil them. Apparently raw eggs have something in them that can make a fur kid anemic. Cheers!
