Question
Hello,
I by accidentally slammed my beagles end tip of her tail in the car door and im not sure if it is broken? She seems to be wagging it but it was bleeding for a little bit than it stopped. How can I tell? Shes seems to be acting normal other than she wouldn't let you touch her tail she would yelp. Im terrified.

Answer
If you got the tip to stop bleeding you got the hardest part done. How far up the tail was it slammed?
It's not an emergency but it will be very sore for a while. If it isn't bleeding and isn't falling off there isn't much a vet can do for it.
If you can't wrap it just leave it be and check it daily for oozing or infection.
You can take her in if you are really worried about it but it most likely will be fine once it heals.
