About Theresa
Theresa from Minneapolis was born and raised in the inner city, always wishing she had been raised on a farm.
Her love for creatures great and small began at an early age, starting with caterpillars - which continues to this day, along with an interest in all insects and 'creepy crawlies'.
Theresa's interest in pet health started with a bird keeping hobby at age 14, where she learned from another hobbyist that the simple addition of Apple Cider Vinegar (ACV) in a bird's drinking water kept fungal infections away; she was able to share this with her avian vet who in turn prescribed it to her own clients; Theresa was surprised to learn that she could teach her vet a thing or two. This important lesson - that each of us can be a teacher - was a turning point for Theresa, and fueled her quest for the knowledge held in lore, and remedies passed by word of mouth. That quest for knowledge continues to this day, as new and old remedies alike are explored. She may not have experience with a particular issue, but she will research it to the best of her ability and share what she finds freely, in the hopes that you can heal or improve your pet's health.

I was in a similar situation with one of my dogs and what worked to save her tail was Real Willard Water. The vet saw her and prescribed antibiotics but felt because the tip of her tail was cold and the skin was starting to turn black that we would have to dock it if the antibiotics did not work. I called the number on the Real Willard Water website, got a live human who advised a dose for me [I cannot recall] and then sent the WW next day shipping. When it arrived the next day I put it in a mister and sprayed the tip of the tail, and also added WW to the food and water. As soon as the tail was sprayed with WW it began to heat up and feel warm to the touch! The tail was saved, however where the skin was black the hair did not grow back - so bald healthy skin where the black skin had been.
You might also consider sprinkling turmeric on the wound - the kind you find in the grocery aisle will work.
And - docking an inch or two off the tip of his tail might be the best way to go; if this is a show dog the long feathering on the tail will help disguise the lack of a full tail.
