When to dock the tail of a Teddy dog?
Teddy dog tail docking is best done 4 to 7 days after the dog is born, so the surgical wound can heal easily at this time. Because the dog's tail is not sensitive at this time and the bone is very soft, it is easy to cut off. The amount of bleeding after the tail is cut off is small, and it can be caressed by the mother spring. It heals very quickly and leaves no traces when it grows up. At the same time, many dogs are not stimulated by tail docking, which affects their psychological and intellectual development. During the operation, the puppies should be kept away from the mother dog to prevent the puppies from howling and irritating the mother dog.
The method of docking the tail is: first tie the base of the tail with a bandage, then trim and disinfect the area to be removed, then cut off the tail with sharp scissors, then cauterize to stop bleeding and disinfect with iodine tincture. Sprinkle anti-inflammatory powder and suture the skin.
If the tail of the Teddy dog cannot be docked in time within 1 week after birth or before 2 months of age, then it is not appropriate to dock the tail when the dog reaches 3 to 4 months of age. Because tail docking at this time can easily stimulate the dog's brain development and seriously affect the development of the dog's psychology and intelligence.
Before docking Teddy’s tail, make sure that Teddy is in good health and try to dock Teddy’s tail about a week after he is born. Shave, disinfect the surgical site, and sterilize instruments before surgery. When docking the tail, the blood vessels must be fully ligated to stop bleeding, and the principles of aseptic surgery must be strictly followed. Postoperative anti-inflammation and medication must not be ignored!
If it is surgery, it can be done at any time, even in adulthood.
