terriermaid 3 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 i had a single pup born today ,with a deformed tail ,i have pulled the tail out ,yes you need to pull it ,and i have just looked again and im not sure if was joined together before i pulled it anyway there is now a slightly open area where its tightly joined ,i did not intend to dock as it seems esier these days ,but if i do dock its going to be short ,but i think this maybe in the best interests of the dogs future wellbeing weather it works or not , so should i just dock her or go back to the vets and have her done on medical grounds?

redmoor 0 Posted October 23, 2007 Report Share Posted October 23, 2007 I would take her to the Vet and have the tail docked, at least at this age she isnt going to know much about it, if you leave it until she is older then they may need to knock her out. Hope she's ok. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

terriermaid 3 Posted October 25, 2007 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2007 ive just looked at the tail ready to dock it and i must have broke it when i straightened it as the bone is exposed or it was fused together if i leave it to the bitch to dock ,what happens if it goes rotten and i need a vet to treat it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
