Pics (8) of Ebby having a break from the cone ...

I'm so sorry that Ebby is still having troubles.

My MIL is very close to having her calico's tail cropped.

It is not healing.
She goes to the vet today, but by the time of the appt. (4:30) we know it won't be done at that time.

Oh, Ebby, isn't it so good without that cone? Be a good girl and you won't have to wear it again.

Chris, everytime I see her pictures, it amazes me. She is SOOOOOOOOO beautiful. She's like a Naomi Campbell of cats

Sorry to hear about Ebby's tail! Sorry if this sounds like a dumb question, I don't know what happened to her tail, but it sounds as if what I've read so far is she's biting it raw? If that becomes a problem for the long term can the tail be removed? I have no idea if that's a painful surgery?

Maybe that four inches being gone will make it too hard to get, although it doesn't look it.

Poor Ebby, leave your tail alone sweetie.

Thank you all for the nice comments about my girl!

I'm sorry to hear that. What did the vet say?

Yes, she did bite her tail raw and ended up having around 4 inches removed. Whether she will have to have more taken off depends on whether she keeps on biting and causing more damage.

About the same, slick, thanks for asking. This morning she was pretty good on her cone-off time. But this evening she wasn't so good, after about an hour cone free she tried to get at her tail a few times so she now has it back on until tommorow.
