I love pets, and I mean it!

The best time for a dog to dock its tail is within 1 to 7 days after birth, because at this time the nerves on the tail of the puppy have not yet grown, and the bones of the tail are relatively fragile. When the dog grows up, the nerves on the tail grow well , Then do the tail docking operation, the difficulty of the operation will increase, and the pain of the dog will also greatly increase.

Tips for tail docking of puppies:

1. Start small. Docking a dog's tail should be done when the puppy is as far as possible, preferably before the eyes are open, so as to reduce the pain of the dog.

2. Choose the appropriate tail-docking method. There are many ways to dock a dog's tail, and the standards for each breed of dog are also different, so you must consult a professional before docking your tail.

3. Disinfection treatment. After the tail is docked, the blood vessels should be fully hemostasis, the blood vessels should be ligated, the wound should be sutured with anti-inflammatory powder, and then disinfected with iodine. Pay attention to observe the dog's tail at all times, and disinfect it on time.

4. Supplement nutrition. Feed your dog some foods rich in zinc. Zinc can combine with vitamin C to participate in the synthesis of collagen in the body and promote wound healing.
