OT:
Who has experience with stud tail?
I noticed Gordy's tail looked greasy a few days ago, so I went to bathe him tonight. It was like a major oil slick down from the base to darn near tip of his tail!!! (It also smells like pee.) I bathed him usually my normal shampoo (baby shampoo really) and it didnt do much. I was getting dirt (or maybe oil) off of him, but he started getting super mad.
It made absolutely no difference. So i brushed it... and tried to cut it... its like he is a porcupine.
i dont think he has any infection and I doubt its a tumor, so I really dont want to drag him to the vet. He is sensitive where all the oil is, so I am leaving him be.
He already gets feline acne and has a few little cysts from his follicles (prior vet biopsied one - benign.... just ugly). So its clear he is destined for skin problems.
Any tips on how to handle? I ordered some groomers goop after some google searches.
I am also wondering if this was brought on by those string of terrible numbers after his pancreatitis battle ended....
