Tools need to be prepared for tail docking in dogs. At the part where the tail needs to be docked, the hair is shaved and disinfected, and local infiltration anesthesia is performed. Use a tourniquet 3 to 4 centimeters above the operation to stop bleeding. Another person fixes the tail, makes a circular incision in the skin with a surgical scalpel, pushes it upward 1 to 2 cm under the skin, cuts off the joints, ligates the blood vessels to stop bleeding, and then sprinkles anti-inflammatory powder to sew and disinfect the skin flap.

Tip:

There is basically no problem if a normal dog has its tail docked within ten days. Generally, dogs can be tail docked when they are about four days old, are in good spirits, develop normally, and are not small in size. Docking the dog's tail at this time can not only relieve its pain, because the dog's metabolism is strong and it is easier to recover.
