Thank you very much. =)

Hmm, maybe that happened to Tier as well? Did your vet also tell you that the tail would have died and fallen off if you did not amputate it? When he said that I was like, "An amputated tail in exchange for him being able to stay alive? Okay, no problem. " but, sadly, such was not the case.
