Well, I thought I would update everyone on Bert after her tail amputation. She is doing really well and adjusting to handicap life.
What Bert has been dealing with as of late and she has had them since I have had her are there barnacle like lesions on her bottom. We never found out what fungi mungi was eating her tail but I noticed that he had encroached on the section of tail that didn't have it and was waiting for the worse to happen.
What I believe and I have no proof at all about this, but I believe that on one of the very rare sunny days we have during the winter, I put Bert out to catch some rays. Shortly after this, her scabs started to losen and come off. I am now giving Bert Rept-Aid and apply Silver stuff on the raw skin. She is VERY grumpy as of late and I am guessing this scabs coming off, hurt, since her skin is raw and red.
I have taken several photos to show every one of her latest health battle. She still has a bone crushing grip and eats well.
Here is Berti, aka Lizard Lips in all of her grumpy glory, making a bee line to escape.
Here you can see the scab starting to come off.
New scab, see the rawness of it? Poor girl.
This scab is on her other hind foot and hasn't popped yet
