        So I put up that topic about bunny tails a few days ago because I was curious about my bun’s tail. I don’t ever remember it being like this, but the end is very hard and pointy now. It’s like a big, hard, white pimple at the end of his tail…When you move his tail fur aside, you can see it quite clearly. And when I pet him, you can feel it – it’s really hard! He is going through a pretty big molt, so maybe the end of his tail lost its fur and this is what’s underneath? I’m such a worry wort lol; I don’t want it to be some like weird disease or something! Does anyone know??

          If it’s not bothering him, doesn’t look inflamed/scaley/red/infected then I wouldn’t worry about it. Can you post a pic?

            If he doesn’s seem bothered by it I wouldn worry too much, but if you have a good vet you could call just to have him look at it. Hokankai has a good point, are you able to post a picture of it?

              You could also try to get a good photo of it and email that with a letter to your vet asking if this is normal for a shed or does he need to be seen.

                I felt the tip of my bun’s tail and it was hard too. Just felt like a vertebra to me

                  Hmmm I’ve no idea. I’d personally keep a close eye, and I might put some vaseline on if it seemed dry and flaky but the skin wasn’t broken.
