My poor baby. He went out to potty about an hour ago and came back in and scooted his rear on the floor. He scooted all the way from one end of our living room to the other. Michael and I snickered at him until he got on my lap and I saw that the base of his tail was raw. And I mean RAW, no skin left. Poor baby has a BAD case of carpet burn.
We dabbed a cotton ball soaked with peroxide on it, and then put some neosporin on it. He's left it alone since, but he'll have the cone on tomorrow and be crated. I get goose bumps when I think about him scooting anymore on that raw spot. *shudders*
It's pretty big, too, about the size of Michael's thumb nail. Pretty much the whole base of his tail, where he has no hair.
