[nagdu] tails

[Danielle Sykora]

Thai was reluctant to straighten his tail for the first day or so, and
it was a little swollen for a few days. Fortunately, it seems
perfectly fine now. I realized that he had actually gotten both his
tail and paw simultaneously stuck in the door. He did have a small
laceration on his paw but it didn't seem to be bleeding. He was
willing to walk longer distances and play increasingly more often as
the days progressed although he continues to spend a lot of time
licking his paw. It hasn't gotten infected so I'm not to worried about
it.
