So I am having a slight problem. About a week or two ago I accidentally slammed my front door on my cats tail about halfway down. My cat is about 8 months old. He was bleeding minimally out of where the door caught him for a few days, so I washed the wound with a peroxide mixture, put some betadine on it and topped it off with a triple antibiotic ointment. There was the initial cut where the door hit his tail, but there was also a small red line going to almost the end of his tail (this was also treated). Now my problem is that he is losing fur along this line, but nowhere else on his tail. The fur seems to have small bits of dead skin on the ends. Will this fur grow back? He is able to move all of his tail with ease and he is active and acting normal so I don't think he is hurting at all. There seems to be proper scabbing on the wound, and he is not sensitive on his tail at all that I have noticed.
I haven't taken him to the vet due to lack of funds. If anyone could shed (no pun intended) some light on this predicament it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
