    Tail rot? And then woke up to a hole in his tail!

    Tail rot? And then woke up to a hole in his tail!

    Nope. i was kind of freaking out trust me. They did blood work, xray, fecal test, and a round of Panacur and i took some omnivore home. I'm predicting 500$ for amputation. i live in the Bay Area which always comes with a pretty price. Sucks but this is where i live. Norman is with me now and i...
