You hear horror stories of "phantom" pain and so on and while I'm sure those dogs exist I have yet to come into contact w/ one. More often than not it heals quite quickly and the dogs are no worse for the wear. More spays are more painful than docking of a tail at an older age IMO! |
I have to say I agree. It's also no dif then docking ears..that is done up til they are 4 months..
Yorkietrainer..this seems to be the first thing we've ever agreed on lol
