Question Fish Tail Question

I'd noticed that some of my girls were showing signs of copper deficiency - fish tails, rough coat and red highlights in black fur.

Bolused those that needed it, and the rough coats sleeked out in a week to 10 days.

How long, approximately, does it take for the fish tail look to go away?

Thanks!

I don't know for sure, but consider that the fishtail look is caused by bald tail tips - so however long it takes to grow that hair back! :baby04:
