How to dock the tail of a fawn dog? First prepare alcohol, rubber bands, scissors, disposable syringes and other tools; tie the rubber band to the needle tube, put the shaved tail into the needle tube; push down the rubber band on the needle tube , make it tightly tie the root of the fawn dog's tail, and then disinfect it every day until the tail falls off naturally.

Generally, it is safest to dock the tail of a fawn within three days after birth. At this time, the fawn’s nerves are not yet mature and will not feel pain.

Tools: medical alcohol, iodine, rubber bands, scissors, disposable injection syringe (small PV tube), scissors (art knife), electric razor.

1. First cut off the head of the needle tube with scissors to make two transparent sections, and then wrap the rubber band tightly around one end of the needle tube.

2. Use an electric razor to remove the body hair at the end of the fawn dog's tail. Be careful not to hurt the dog and perform simple disinfection.

3. Insert the fawn dog’s tail through one end of the needle tube, making sure that the end with the rubber band is tightly in contact with the dog’s tail and body. Then straighten the dog's tail and push the rubber band at the front of the needle forward so that the rubber band is tightly wrapped around the end of the little milk base's tail.

4. Remove the syringe, then apply alcohol again to disinfect it, and you're done. But this does not mean that the whole work is over. Every day after that, the owner needs to disinfect the tail of the little milk base until the tail falls off on its own. Finally, rub some iodine on the docked tail to help it recover.
