I need a little advise guys, Iv got a bmc thats beating her tail on her pen, box etc to the point she stays pretty bloody... she just started this, iv tried to wrap it and she peels it off. Tails are a bugger to keep a tight wrap any how. Anybody have any other remedys?? Or know where I can get a banding gun to dock her tail a few inches shorter? Would this be the best thing to do? any knowledgeable input is appreciated!
G'day Ekunkel, I've had this problem many times & i have always fixed it with using a product called Potassium Permanganate, they are crystals. It is also called Condi's crystals.
Directions: dissolve 2.5g in 100ml of water to form a strong solution. Soak tip of tail in solution for a couple of minutes a day for a few days & i'm sure it will heal. They seem to heal real quick. The skin on the tip of the tail will toughen & you will no longer have a problem. I all so use it on dogs feet when they blow or lose a pad. I use same formula, it will heal & toughen up their pads.
We get this product from a chemist or drug store. Hope this helps.
Cheers
