Thanks for the advise Joanne! Yes a picture of the protective pads you made for Carl would be great if you can find one. Or I was going to try to find some kids soft denim pull on pants that I could cut a tail hole in and modify a bit (I don't know)??? And yes, I looked at some adult Depends the oth...

Hi Joanne...Sorry it took me so long to get back to you, I was waiting to find out from my vet exactly where Lola's injury was.
