To whom it may concern- Bebe presented to us with a wound on his tail. The wound consists of two puncture wounds on the right/dorsal side of the tail, and two puncture wounds on the left/ventral side of the tail. This appearance is consistent with a bite wound. At this time, Bebe is alert and appropriate, with no signs of rabies or any other neurologic disorder. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to call.
