...History: was rescued in April by cats protection. FIV + Clinical signs: exhibiting symptoms after having bandage removed from partial tail amputation: constant wagging of tail, hitting it on surfaces and walls causing it to bleed As the title suggests, my cat had a partial tail amputation...

Hi. My kitty is about 6 years old and had a partial tail amputation about 2.5 weeks ago. He got his tail slammed in the door while trying to escape. when we first brought him to the emergency vet they stitched his tail in hopes of avoiding amputation. That didn’t work and he had his tail...

...a day. If she’s doesn’t get her medicine she bites her tail till it bleeds. She was in a tail cast for a long time. They considered tail amputation but felt that she’d bite a different part of her body if the tail was gone. She really hates change. I’m saddened to think that she would be very...

My cat Monet had partial tail Amputation two days ago, after getting the tip caught in the door hinge. She had an extremely long skinny tail now it will probably be averaged sized after healing and the fur comes back I take it. I have been a wreck. She is my baby. I just would like any advice I...

The thought of amputation occurred to me too, but I still think there's other options. Along with alldara's comments above including the nematodes, try wrapping whatever section of his tail it is that he attacks. Also there's Cat Music too, there's RelaxMyCat, MusicForCats, classical harp...

...water, with a bite of tuna as a treat afterward. I don't know if reading through other posts from those who have had to deal with their cat's tail being amputated will help, but just in case (some of the posts are only indirectly related) - Search Results for Query: tail amputation | TheCatSite

thank you I’ll check out the post and see if I can try the treat thing with her I appreciate it.

...to be friends, with some hissing and a bit of chasing. I could have done with the support of this group when Lando was injured, as a tail amputation, double incontinenance and having to learn to manually express urine, only to have to put him to sleep 6 days post incident :( Devastating...

I'm new here after finding this thread. I'm going through the same with my cat after he injured his tail and had partial amputation. It's been 10 days since op and today he's been really frantic and jumpy when he see his tail and gave it a bite after it appeared to be healing well. He was fine...

Seeing this makes me feel a lot better. Monet just had a partial tail amputation on Friday I have been full of anxiety and worry cause she’s my baby. How long did it take for the tail to fully heal? My vet told me not to cover the incisions which makes me even more nervous. Do you have any tips...

Hello. I am sorry for all that you and your kitty are going through. Tail amputations are rough. The tail if full of nerve endings and tail injuries are very painful for cats. Your cat has a lot of anxiety and probably pain relating to his tail. This will take some time to get over and you are...

Thank you for letting us know. When I needed those services for my dog, oncology and surgery, I used the same facility and it was much more convenient. August 22 is not too far off; it is good to hear that Leo is comfortable. I have had several ferals who have lost tails because of fights and...

Hi. Sorry about your kitty. 10 days after op he may need more meds….but I’m no vet. My kitty needed meds even a few days after stitches were taken out. I’ll give and update on mine now. To start I will say that my kitty is almost back to normal in regards to his tail. It’s about a month after...

Thank you for your reply. is the tail amputation surgery not dangerous for the cat? the vet mentioned that in case he had to do the amputation, he was worried it might not heal correctly.

Take the cone off! Watch him in case he starts licking the wound excessively - cats lick their backsides all the time, so don't panic! I'm sure he'll be OK. I've not used cones for a cat after a tail-amputation, bladder and cyst operations - sometimes they are more trouble than they are worth...

Its about 6:30 in the morning, my cat just woke up and i was glad to see that she can defecate and urinate normally. She even let me feel her tail more than last night and didn’t react too violently, there is a distinct bump at one of the spots where the tail begins to droop. I reckon this is...

...to further vet instructions, which is what you would do with your cat. There is a period of time for the remaining tail or incision to heal but you should be able to manage that with your vet's help. Hopefully the tail will heal without amputation. Tail Amputation (Caudectomy) In Cats -...

...it. We had a male cat (Lando) from Oct-Jan, he sadly had a serious tail pull injury some how when out, and after 5 days in hospital, tail amputation, and was double incontinent post injury, we had to make the very hard decision to say goodbye. I had learned to manually express his bladder...

Jumping ahead to amputation of the tail. I have done it with several ferals who had developed gangrene as a result of cat fights. One returns twice a day, every day, for food and is absolutely fine without the tail. If this can be resolved or diagnosed otherwise, that is great. But if it means...

...amputation. I also am inclined to think that if amputation is the end result, your cat would adapt just fine. I see no reason why tail amputation would be any 'worse' than amputation of a leg and most cats learn quite well to compensate for the loss, and fairly quickly too! There is a...
