I'm wondering if I could tie a tight line around it?? After a few days will the top fall off??????????????
ABSOLUTELY DO NOT TRY TO DOCK THAT PUPPIES TAIL!! You will run the risk of major infection plus at an older age when you get your puppy, he will not leave the bands alone plus the bands wont work at that age as all the bones, muscles, spinal cord are already completely formed. If Canada has not banned tail docking yet, find a vet who will do the surgery at a later date. YOu never know, you may just like that tail!! If you dont want a tail, find another puppy to purchase or find a vet that will.
