Our boxer puppies are 1 week old. 5 days ago they had their tails cropped (which was advised by our vet.) Today one of them lost all of her hair on her tail and it looks very raw and irritated. I cannot get her into the vet until tomorrow and I am unable to reach anybody. Should I put neosporin on it? I was told by our vet to put neosporin on their umbilical cords, and I wasn't sure if maybe I should on the tail as well. Please help! don't want her to get an infection or be in pain.

At only 1 week, her mother is going to be licking her quite a lot. For that reason, you should only put a little neosporin on the tail. It's not going to hurt the mom to ingest a small amount of the ointment and it will ease any discomfort the pup is feeling. By the way, puppies don't feel much at this early age, so she isn't in great pain. But, you are right to get her to the vet asap.

Back Yard Breeders are the best...
Make an appointment, and call your Vet and ask what to do in the meantime.
