Tail concern after surgery

[vegullaaimee]

Chico had tail rot removal surgery on 2-15-22 but I do not think it looks good. It's dry at the end and is all white skin doesn't appear to be moving up but does look like where the stickers were placed maybe trying to die it is wet because we just got done with a soak. It feels hard and callused the vet said it's healing but to me it looks like it's going to fall off

It does look like it's going to fall off right there. Of it is infected, you could put unpasteurized raw honey on it and watch over it.

It does look suspicious. I agree on using honey for it but keep an eye out for it getting worse. Are you soaking it in plain water or a betadine mix ? It's best to keep it dry, soaking it can introduce bacteria. Raw honey fights bacteria + keeps wounds moist.

Thank you very much
