QuestionMy baby, Georgia (4 Years) has screwtail, the vet in carrollton, ga wants to remove it but I feel that at her age would not be good for her. My question: Is there anything I can do to help or even prevent an abcest on her bottom? I have heard of a few things but it gets confusing, If you can give me a complete list (I do have a limited income, but fair Expense for her) I need correct food, vitamins, and, medicines.
