found one inch piece of cat's tail on floor this morning. End of what remains has blood on it but is not actively bleeding. 2 months ago, there was an injury to that part of tail, causing there to be no hair for a short half-inch section near the tip.Vet said to keep eye on it, but nothing got worse since then. My question: do we need to get medical attention immediately (it is sunday morning), or can this wait till tomorrow morning? Can we put anything on it now, to reduce risk of infection?

Thank you for contacting PetCoach with your question about Bushita. Oh no, this is bad. This will be painful to her, and there are no OTC pain medications you can give her. Many human ones are toxic to cats, and are fatal if given. You absolutely have to take her into a vet now, this cannot wait until the morning. Please have her seen by a vet immediately. Best of luck.
