Seeking information and possible sugestion regarding one of our twin boys. The smaller seems to have just the bony tip of his tail blackened ....seems to be the actual bone revealed. Also seems excruciatingly painful for him . They have been with us for just two weeks and everything else is going very well with the exception of tick season being merciless and because we are still house training ,we are outside allot and always checking meticulously. That's when we noticed what looked like an engorged tick attached to the very end of our pups tail.Only it wasn't. Were stumped and looking for a vet close by to see what the problem might actually be . Anyone with any information to share ....we would be very happy to have your input . Many thanks
