tail docking vs ear pircings i am anti ear pircings first off can break down cartlege .. thats not spelled right and also vets will only do tail docking before day four of a puppies life due to the fact that a puppies nervouse system has yet to set up and though it still feels pain it is not Nerves that are being crushed in pain sensors when i was a kid in the country i usto see farmers who would take wire cliper and dock working dogs tail at 5 or 6 weeks i was almost as damaged at the puppies so no to doggie mutlation |
