Update on the Tails

Mystic's stitches were removed last night from both her side and the tip of her tail. She made cranky sounds at the vet, but otherwise the visit went well. She was a little angry with me for bringing her back to the vet again, and ran away to the basement before I had a chance to redress her in her sparkle princess collar.
Whippy passed her last tail check-up with flying colors, but since reptiles heal slowly, her stitches won't be removed until the end of the month. She's been eating a ton, and lounging on the middle shelf of her enclosure. Her head is shedding right now. There is a milky color to the unshed scales which contrasts strangely with the fresh dark scales revealed beneath.
Perro has a vet appointment coming up next week for annual vaccinations and heartworm preventive medication. Perro's tail was docked before I adopted him, so at least there is no chance a tail amputation is in his future. Now three out of my four pets have a stumpy tail. Everyone seems to be doing well with their shortened tails, however, so my tale of two tails has a happy ending.
