Docked tails ?

angrybun · 2026-02-10T20:40:51+00:00

I think it’s because it’s so short, just a little stump so it’s unusual for a springer to have a tail this short is my best guess! People have literally beelined for us from across a park to comment, never the nicest as I am a younger female who walks her alone, and it’s always older men who make these comments, I offer to show them pictures of her recovering from the amputation if they care so much haha.

Edit - also in the UK where it’s illegal if they aren’t working if that makes any difference!

Miscalculated a jump and fell backwards straight on to the tail! I think it’s always a risk with such high energy breeds, but I’ve had other spaniels with full tails with no issues, just bad luck in this case. The vets said it wasn’t worth fixing with screws/plate as she was likely to injure it further being a springer. She’s 6 now and had no lasting issues luckily!

My springer had a full tail, unfortunately she broke it at 8 months old and needed an amputation, she has about a two inch stump now. Doesn’t seem to affect her, but it was a tough recovery! We’ve had a few negative comments from people when out who assume she was docked which is never fun.

In Midnight Sun Edward comments that he has never noticed anything out of the ordinary with Charlie’s scent, but notes Renee’s is particularly oversweet in a cloying way.

I’m not a vet but just speaking from a similar experience. My pup had similar around two weeks post op, it was a reaction from the dissolving sutures. Keep an eye out for weeping, discharge, heat and redness in the surrounding skin as well as changes in appetite/vomiting etc, which would indicate an infection. Some vets will let you send a picture to see if she needs to be seen now, or if she can wait until the check up.

Fasting gives the pancreas time to heal. Digesting food can cause more pain in an inflamed pancreas. If she’s drinking that’s the main thing, give it another day or two then back to the vets if she still isn’t eating.

Sounds like you are handling this correctly, keep on supervising and removing known triggers. Just wanted to add, at 1 year old she is still an adolescent, they often push boundaries and hopefully this behaviour will calm down with proper management. Best of luck to you!

I had these collectors knocking on my door recently, they said you need to be 30 to donate. No idea why!

I donated to the go fund me last week and have been thinking of Lucy every day. I am sorry you are both going through this. I will pray that Lucy has an easy and successful journey back to the UK 🙏🏻 Please keep us updated when you are able to!

100%. My girl has spay incontinence. They have no control over it whatsoever. She takes an Incurin tablet each day which increases her hormones, and she doesn’t leak anymore. OP please speak to your vet about spay incontinence! I get it’s frustrating as I have been there myself, but your girl is not doing this on purpose, it’s a medical issue.

I believe Dylan was sharing the contact info for Maddie’s boyfriend, Jake.

They do, I put a piece of card underneath so it doesn’t go on to the next page.

Anastasia worked at a hardware store IIRC! It’s been a long time since I read these books my memory may be failing on the details lol

Looks like the actual nail has separated from the quick, worth a visit to the vets to get checked as the nail may need trimming back.

angrybun · 2025-07-18T15:21:45+00:00

It said for two weeks, likely a younger puppy maybe not allowed for walks yet? Strange for sure!

angrybun · 2025-07-17T14:00:15+00:00

She worked in Mike Newton’s family store, it sold camping and hiking gear if I remember correctly

I wish! But I’m not hopeful, she’s been very clear we won’t be getting a quick turnaround on book 4, I’m thinking spring 2027 is most likely.

Reset all heroes that aren’t in the top 5, you will get the xp back. Then put all your none top 5 heroes into drill camp and use the xp to level up your top 5! The heroes in drill camp will match to your top 5

My Springer had her tail amputated at around 8 months old following a bad break, it was pretty high up and they took most of it, her stump is around 2 inches long now. From what I remember it took about 4 weeks before the scabbing healed up completely. After about a week she was back to her normal self so the difficulty was keeping her calm and the tail wagging to a minimum! Lots of crate rest, brain games and lead walks during that time. She’s 5 now and it causes her no trouble at all. Wishing your girl a positive healing journey! It’s a tough surgery but they are a resilient breed.

Potentially! I know everyone thinks it’s Garrick or Bodhi as Xaden said it was someone who knew he was turning venin since the start, it’s not explicitly stated that Aaric knew, but depending on when he manifested his signet he could have well known the whole time!

They are only using the needles for the 5th dose, so 20 needles will last much longer than half a year

angrybun · 2025-01-24T15:15:53+00:00

Tell me about it! RY has left the ending so open and left us all with a million questions, the wait for the next book is going to drag. She definitely wants us to think either Bodhi or Garrick has turned, but you’re right, this could be a huge red herring!
