There is rarely any bleeding at all when you do the clamp and twist method. Honestly, hardly any bleeding at all. If there is of bit of bleeding in a rare case, a little styptic powder watered down with some warm water and a Q-tip will stop it immediately. Then the vet bond (or preferred brand) of bleed stop and seal glue is applied. I would actually prefer my vet do my tails, but after a couple of different situations where I was not getting my length of tail left to what I wanted even when I was standing right there, I have opted to do my own from here own out. |
Same here. Vets don't go to school learn the specifics on tail docking lengths for each individual breed. So, by learning how to do them yourself, you have control of the length.
At times there is a little bleeding and you may have a little yelp. But, it's minimal
