Docking

[C.green 3,231]

Had a few pups docked at vets with no problems  but bought a dog in with a full tail and its driving me mad in all honesty and taking abit of stick. Anyone had an adults tail docked to half what was the recovery time and what did ya pay roughly ?

Put a sheep ring on it. 2 weeks it will be off.

You won't get a vet to look at it unless it's a medical condition. ........you're stuck with it mate

Had two vets had a look at it feller because obviously its getting damaged. Dog aint a sort to keep still though so im wondering how long roughly it takes and what sort of price others paid.

first answer then

Yeah not for me that. I dont think it works aswell as you think. Annoying it wasnt just done as a pup but getting the tail taken off by a vet isnt a problem. I could have it done tomorrow but id like to know if anyone else has had it done on an older dog whats the recovery time and how much was you charged ?

Only seen one adult terrier who had it done,it worked just fine but grab it's tail and you became the quarry even in a hole with real quarry in front of it..Don't know how much it cost them to have it done but how it is getting sore as i can't see it happening much in a tube?.

I dont grab a terriers tail on a dig anyway but this is a cocker x terrier.

 

strange qestion i know but could you blatantly see it was done on an older dog rather than the smartness when its done as a pup ?

Lamb ring will do it.

using a lambing ring leaves a stumpy bit of bone that the hair never covers, opens up and bleeds on a digging terriers and a spaniel I've seen, that had it done mr green

Stick a sheep ring round your finger for a couple of hours and see how that feels.Then imagine how it would feel for a couple of weeks

Bit of a difference though DS, that’s like saying chopping a newborn babies finger off is the same as docking a pup.

In that case you should be able to just chop its tail off and everything will be fine then.

Seen plenty greyhound s with tail s cut after damaging them in kennels makes no difference whatsoever to how they ran and think price is round £140 mark.
