I'm sorry if I took your post in the wrong way, there are a lot of emotions running high here and I think it's time I step away before I'm dragged into even more x |
Dont do that, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
I have misread your post, i thought you meant the tail was hurting your mother, not the actual dog. My fault, not yours.
Was it very bad damage? A greyhound i used to look after loved to stand in the doorway and wag his tail. He ended up having a few inches amputated. I also know someone with a SBT mix who did the same. Tails bleed like no tomorrow, even from the smallest of wounds, but they also dont heal well because of the constant movement and the fact they hit everything with them.
Maybe it would have been better for your mums dog to be docked, but theres no way of forseeing the future and knowing if, and what, damage a dog is going to do. Its just one of those things you have to deal with, should a problem arise.
Again, i apologise if i have upset you.
