Pet's info: Cat | Domestic Shorthair | Female | unspayed
So my cat accidentally dipped her tail in my wax melt thing and she had wax on the tip of her tail I took her to the bathroom to soften it and get it out but I came out with a lot of her fur leaving her tail skin exposed with red spots will her fur grow back?

If there is a chance that the skin was burned by the wax, I would recommend having Milks examined by your veterinarian because burns can be very serious and difficult to heal. If the skin was not damaged, then the fur should regrow normally. Good luck! I hope that was helpful and answered your question. Thanks for using Petco Pet Education Center, formerly Petcoach.
