After Noodles first surgery, her tail was the victim of bar slapping (from itching too bad and "shaking off the itch") On her tail, she had what looked like peeling skin and it was really dry, and a bad scab on the tip of the tail. I found a little green can hiding in the bathroom called Bag Balm. I read the ingredients, and basically *tested* a little bit on her tail. I put some on I think one day, and two days later. on the fifth day it had cleared up and fur was starting to grow.

I'm wondering if it would be safe to try and smear some on her body and see if maybe it would soothe the itching and hopefully grow a little bit of hair. I just want to ask the experts to see if it was safe for her skin.

thanks!
