My vet in Canada does a perfect tail in my opinion... the vet here in florida made tails too short for me.. so I told her to go a tad farther past the brown.. she did that one Lisa`s piper..so then I said again a tad longer for the second one.. and I like mariska`s tail.. it is what it looks like when my vet does it.. yet he says he does it right at the tip of the brown..
I had Gracies done late.. as she was not big enough nor strong enough on friday..so it was done on the monday..we begun to tube feed her..and by the monday she had gained enough weight to be done.. other wise it would not have... she did ok.. but was very small and we tube fed every two hours night and day for two weeks..
I would like to say.. last spring we had 4 babies.. all healthy.. no crying.. tails erect.. had the tails docked on friday night.. lost one on sunday morning and one on monday morning.. I was shocked.. same vet I always use..they cried for hours and hours non stop..they always looked like they were suckling when not crying.. but I know now that they had to have been in too much pain to have strength to suckle hard enough.. they just faded so darn fast.. over night..
