Help Buddy get his tail amputation surgery

Hello, my name is nicholette and I'm starting this go fund me to raise money to get my dog his tail amputation surgery. He chewed his tail so much he killed the nerves at the end. It is all black, still and has no blood flow. The vet said he could have had a small cut or injured his tail while I left him with my mom when i went out of town for a day. He kept licking it to make it feel better then it got to point where it was relaxing for him to do it, so much to a point that he than began to bite it non stop. This is important to me because I love Buddy with all my heart and want to do right by him. I've had Buddy since he was 5 months old and he just turned 9 years old 10/14/22. He has never needed any surgery or anything of this severity. Im currently only able to work 3 days out of the week because I'm in college full time. The funds raised will go towards his amputation bill and any after care needed.
