A Broken Tail, What You Think?

[**Lurcherman** 32]

Hi all quick question for you , a friend of mine got an 8 week old whippet pup but the last sections of its tail is broken, bent at a 30degree angle ,question one anyway of fixing it ?Question 2 would it make any difference to it balance and turning in the future?

 

The las told him the mother of the pups stood on it when he was 3 days old

Anyone come across this before, its only the very section on the tail .

Get the broken bit removed now and as the pup grows it will be as if nothing has happened he will adapt and learn to get on with the tail that's left.

Sounds like it was born with a kink in it;s tail.It won;t make any difference either way.

My bitch broke hers.it had to be removed leaving it aboutt 3 inches long. She was ok on bigger things but couldn't get use to it on rabbits and couldn't turn like she did. The good thing with yours is it's only a pup and will no no difference. Mine was 3 when she done it.

If its a kink in the tail its a genetic defect and you shouldnt breed from that animal if thats the case, the spine may also be fused as well, it may affect the mutts ability to jump... Consult your vet...
