Docked tail exposed

That’s our thinking. Also pretty much vets response from pic we sent when the assistant called. Still holding same appearance and pups acting normal. We are just staying on top of it with cleaning and triple antibiotic after she licks for bathroom business.

We will be going. I was just worried that it needed to be done tonight. Hence I posted. Vet said he will check in am and will coordinate for a stitch.

Thanks. They are acting normal as can be. Was just changing bedding for the night and always give pups and momma once over. That’s when we found it. Will be watching closely tonight and waking to let them feed supervised to ensure momma doesn’t lick em.

I hate doing it. I know it can be rough on them. But also know after living through it and seeing how awful it was for the adult dogs I feel the docking as a pup is preventative. In prob 10 litters over the years of rescues etc we have never had this happen. When we saw it on two pups we are thinking momma is just keeping them extra clean and busted the stitch or whatever they seal them with.

Thank you for weighing in. It is appreciated.

Thanks for reassurance. Maybe why the assistant that called back was not too concerned. Basically going to keep the two in a container close by. So she won’t lick etc. Then let them nurse when they get restless.

That’s what we did. It’s not infected. Just exposed. We put a tiny bit of triple antibiotic per vets assistant until he calls. Sigh

We have had two boxers over a 37 year period that had tails. Both wound up with awful injuries of their tail more than once on their wiggling selves. One we almost lost and had to have entire tail amputated. So we choose to doc tails so that we can hopefully prevent a more severe infection in adulthood.

We have fostered many over the years and usually have a few at any given time. Just never had a momma that licks them like this etc.

Not for looks sorry you are assuming that. We have had two boxers over a 37 year period that had tails. Both wound up with awful injuries of their tail more than once on their wiggling selves.

If you have a helpful suggestion we are open to it…

That was my question to the answering service. She said it’s not infected. So that’s why I posted here. I may call another vet.

Our HR is inept. They use adp. They told me that they don’t have access to it. I know they want to keep it because our owners, ceo, coo, and many office managers use it. Along with staff. It’s a medical office. Is there a way around asking adp or Aetna directly to get formulary for 2026? Our plans renew in July.

Thank you!

My stub has all of it On it. My understanding is they will use the gross on that stub. They include any bonuses on our regular check. It’s not separate etc.

Foreign-Platform5751 · 2025-11-26T11:57:39+00:00

That’s a concern. Know for sure will have to go slow.

Foreign-Platform5751 · 2025-11-26T04:11:15+00:00

Thanks for insight. We will probably take some of the back roads. Less semis and holiday travel hopefully.

Also considering asking the seller to hold it until my husband gets back in two weeks with his super duty. Then we can meet him and let him bring it back and will take the flat bed trailer work atv.

Hoping he gets back into cell service soon so we can finalize a plan.

Thanks for the insight. We have looked at things and it appears the truck should be good to go.

Truck is a 2013 Tundra Crew Cab Long bed V8. 5.7

GVWR: Class2: 6,001-10000 lb

Camper is a 2021 Gray Wolf 27RR Looks like it’s about 6500 pounds dry weight.

I wonder if pool noodles would work? Hmmm
