It's also very painfull and takes quite awhile to heal. We've had Maltese, ShihTzu & Chi in the family and none have had such a thin boned tail as our Yorkies.
One of Cali's sisters had a broken tail and Kathryn had to dock it (not super short, since Chihuahua's are supposed to have a tail but right above the break because the tail was crooked). Sometimes I worry about Cali's little "frency fry tail" as I call it because it's so super tiny and fine. I hope it never breaks. My poor baby!
