I have a 5 month old kitten my nephew pulled his tail and it comes out a little bit at the base of the at the base but and goes limp after a little while
Hello,
Please have your kitten seen by a veterinarian as soon as possible. I suspect an X-ray is indicated to assess the tail. I also think that at this age your kitten should be vaccinated (if it isn’t already) . So even if the tail is not able to be treated your kitten needs vaccines, preventatives.
Usually with tails I let them try to heal on their own as long as they are waking, urinating and defecating normally AND they are not self traumatizing it. It can be monitored for a while to assess healing.
Thank you Krista and yes they have been vaccinated
In addition to what Dr. Magnifico said, keep your nephew away from your cat.
