 tails
The reason I think it is less painful is because no stitching needed. I found when the vet or I cut them off, they cried for a couples seconds, then quieted down..then the stitching began and that made them SCREAM bloody murder..sometimes long after they were returned to mom..on the way hoime in the car they still whimmered. They even cried when mom cleaned the butts, she no doubt touched the stitches.
Using a clamp and putting it where you want the tail to come off makes them cry, then very quickly they quiet down, twisting the already deaden end piece does not bother them and I get no more crying, clamp is removed in a couple seconds and no need for a stitch..back to mom..infact I let them nurse on mom while I do it most times...they fuss and go back to sleep. |
