I wish that more vets used the clamp and twist method but unfortunately, it's hard to find one that does.
Take a hemostat clamp and put it at the length you want to remove. Leave it there for about a method to slow the blood circulation. You need two people to do this...one to twist and one to hold the pup. Twist the part you want removed about 10-12 times in a 360 degree circle. Take a very fine razor blade that had been cleansed in alcohol and shave the tail off using the hemostat as a guide.
It's a quick method and there is very little if any blood involved. |
