Question
I Think My Cat Got Part Of My Gerbil's Tail Will It Grow Back? It Looks Like There Was A Little Bit Of Blood On His Tail What Should I Do? Im Afraid To Touch Him Since I Dont Want To Hurt Him

Answer
Hi.
It should grow back given time. Gently cleanse the wound with a damp tissue. Be careful not to let your cat at him again, as he could easily die if the cat is too rough with him. Try not to touch his tail for a while until the wound has healed.
I hope he gets better soon,
Kathryn
