Default tail docking

I use a small surgical clamp outside the gold on the underside of the tail..depends on the length you perfer. remember clamping length and cutting length are different.
Leave clamp for a couple mins...then hold the tail by the base where the clamp is and hold the end of tail. Twist off, might take 10 turns. Leave clamp on another couple mins and remove. No need to surture,m no blood or open wound. I have never had any infection. Do the same for the dew claws..use a small clamp to get a good hold on the claw..they are so tiny. Good luck
