The vet didn't know what a Degu was and he didn't have any clue what the string like thing was, which is brilliant. Another thing has come out of her tail since and there's another bit hanging out now. I'm going to search for a vet that knows about Degu's and is hopefully a lot smarter than the one we saw.

WOW!! Did he even bother to look at the thing from her tail under some kind of microscope? He certainly wasn't any help! I hope you are able to find someone that can give you some answers, or is at least curious enough to do some research!

Where abouts in the uk are you? perhaps if you told us then someone might know of a suitable vet? I know of one in telford, one in dudley and one in walsall but that's only good if you are in the west midlands lol.

Oh no! Poor little thing. What a useless vet. Even if you didn't know what a degu was there's this magical thing called 'google'. You'd think they'd check it up beforehand. Sorry, little rant. Must be such a worry for you, really hope something comes to light soon for you. X

I live in the North East of England. And I know, he was really useless. Fortunately Tink has FINALLY started fighting back with the baby when he goes for her tail so maybe it'll start healing now and everything might turn out good? Can only hope whilst I'm looking for a good vet.

The boney tail part of her tail may be coming apart, I think you should seperate them if it's causing real damage... not sure I'm not an expert.

I've got a microscope if you would like me to have a look at it. It's not really a biology microscope, but it will magnify up to about 80 times if you think that would be enough.
