My cat's tail was cut off by the door on accident today.
At first, I noticed about a half and inch of his tail hair at the door, no blood. Then I saw that my cat's tail was bleeding with 4 centimeters of "bones" exposed.
I want to take him to a vet but I have no money or income. I can buy hydrogen peroxide, neosporin, and gauges but I have no knowledge nor courage to apply pet medical treatment in fear creating more pain for him. This never happened to any of the cats I've had before him so this is the first time.
It's been 10 hours since the injury occurred. He looks okay but I know he's in pain. He switches his sleeping/resting position sometimes so that his tail bone doesn't have contact with anything because it's painful for him.
Would my cat be okay? What would happen after weeks of not going to the vet. Due to financial issues, what can I do to help him other than giving him more tender loving care, food he likes, and ensure the house is clean so less infections can occur. Even if it's fully healed someday ( with no fur or skin that grew), would he still feel pain at the end of his tail?
