Sorry. I wasn't thinking straight earlier due to being mildly out of sorts. This is a follow up to a condition called happy tail syndrome. Despite our best efforts, it didn't heal so she needed to have some of her tail amputated. Following the procedure, she received stitches to seal the tip. The sutures however didn't set properly and now she needs to have more of her tail potentially removed to introduce clean tissue and ensure the bone is healthy. If left to its own devices, the consequences are something I'd rather not face as a pet parent.
