It’s the darndest thing I have ever seen on Blossom, but she keeps getting these splits on her skin right by her tail. They look like a miniature earthquake has hit her, small bloody fissures running amuck.
My vet said she must have allergies- but I don’t think so and this morning she has an abcess there. Normally, I can open and debreed these suckers but she is just to old and to fragile.

Waiting for the vet’s to open so I can call and hopefully get an appointment this morning for her. She is eating and last night she did allow me to clean her wound area with the stuff the vet gave me- but she let me know that I had to be very gentle or I might be missing a few digits afterward!

This isn’t like Shell’s fragile skin syndrome, this is something different and probably brought on my poor nutrition and neglect. Some days, they are all healed up and no problem, but this isn’t the day for that.

It spit snow yesterday on the way to work. Snow! In April- in Oregon? Hmmm-
