Hello! I've got a problem with my cat's tail that I'm hoping someone can help me with. About a month ago I came home from a trip and noticed my cats tail, about four inches, was limp. I read on the internet about broken tails. I figured her tail was broken and I'd wait about a week to see if it got any better. After about a week the tail was better. She was starting to move it. There was a lump at about where it looked injured so I checked it to find a burr. We dug the burr out and thought that was the problem. She continued to get better. About four days after the burr coming out, to my horror, I found the end of her tail, about four inches, laying in the floor. It had fell off. She wasn't bleeding and continued to play. She acted as though nothing happened. Now her tail is losing its hair. I never see her digging at it so I don't think it is from excessive licking. The tail's skin is flakey with a couple of bumps. Any ideas to what is going on would be greatly appreciated!
