I failed to notice how exactly it happened, but when i went to investigate why Storm was running around looking extra panicked, i discovered that he had stomped on an open roll of flytape and it got tangled in his hocks, butt and tail. It was probably a roll that fell from the ceiling without me noticing...
I called dad over and we removed the tape and most of the dirt that we could get, but he still looks like he could use some assistance with getting the glue off.
I'm not confident enough in taking a comb or scissors for those matted parts of his tail as Storm just hates when i try to brush him there, just threw a tantrum when i went to check on it.
He's also got a small knot in his tailbone, wonder where he got that from..
I don't know how harmful the usual flytape glue is, but i'm hoping that as he's eating good amounts of hay and drinking plenty of water, once he gets himself untangled he should be fine again?
Or is it something that should be checked by a vet even if he's eating and drinking and moving as normal?
