Send hugs to Lola because while at home, the weight of the door and speed of the summer wind resulted in the door slamming shut completely cutting off her tail 5cm from the tip. By some miracle she moved as fast as she did, because that weight and degree of force on any other part of her body could have been quite catastrophic.
Now, there was a blood bath because they bleed ALOT, but her family had remarkable calmness after the accident to bring the detached piece (on ice). But, unlike humans, reattachment isn't generally done as tails have high chance of infection, take time to heal, also connecting nerves, reattaching bone and rehabilitation is quite prohibitive.
She had emergency surgery to have her tail tailored to a length where all the vertebrae were healthy and the skin able to be tucked into the most perfectly cute, but shorter tail. She should recover quickly and live comfortably with it.
