Tiger's Tail Wound and Vet Visit

I took Tiger to the vet because his tail wouldn't quit bleeding. So the vet shaved the wound, found where it was bleeding, applied something to make it stop, and wrapped it up. He sent me home with antibiotics and tranquilizers. Apparently this is a pretty bad wound and it's a big deal on a tail. He said many times the tail will have to be amuptated because the wound will never heal. Tiger would look weird without a tail. But I feel better because I got some help and know what to do. I'm sure Tiger will be fine in a couple days as long as I can keep it wrapped so he can't lick it. The vet also did a good job at making sure I didn't feel too guilty..."it was just an accident."
