tail wont stop bleeding

[samba 534]

took mine nearly six week to stop and heal had to leave him in yard for this time

as people have said every time you went to take him out started bleeding again wi excitment

and also fed him in garden as kept wagging his tail in run and bagging it

get someone to hold the dog with a mussel get the tail at hit it with a hot piece of metssl this will coderise it and stop the bleending after doing it keep it clean it willl be alright in a couple of wekks as i done it before what did people do yearsago when ther ewas no vets ??

 

I dont think thats a good idea for a complete novice

 

sorry kay didnt know she was a beginner must be someone she knows with dogs can help her over this way as if any had that problem over here id help them

 

You wernt to know , not saying the ideas bad if you know what your doing

dont think my dog would ever forgive me and would go mental because shes a bit of a puff

get a piece of blue plastic pipe put it over end and strap it on leaving the bottom open though then muzzle the dog works everytime

 

[deputydog 68]

if you cant sort it p.m me your not to far away ill have a look at it for you if you want

[JPTfellterrier 65]

thank you iam going to try the pipe thing as i think she would go mental if someone coterised her tail as if you stand on her foot she goes mental enough

 

but i will let you know in a week or so how its healing and get in touch, thank you very much for the offer

a week or so?

have a good vet dock 6 inches off of the tail (or more depending on the extent of the injury), it worked great for my bitch and was inexpensive to do.

[Guest darlolad]

dunno

[GarryN 5]

Put on lots of lipsyl

[night moocher 41]

get some bitchumin, melt it and when its warm enough to touch without burning dip the end in .

when cold it forms a hard case over the damaged area,im presuming its only the tip ,so only an inch at the most will be on the tail.

tried and tested old way .and when the tar breaks up and crumbles off the tail will be tough as boots.

it would be easyer to move what his tail is whacking into , if yer diping tails into tar to stop the tip bleeding you must be gan daft in yer auld age lol

Its not good advice to anyone ...muppet

[MikeTheDog 153]

Some of the advise on this forum regarding animal welfare beggars belief!...Get the fecking dog sorted with someone that knows what they're doing,...like a vet! 'Scabbing over' imo is not the way to get it to heal properly.

get a piece plastic tube and put on end of is tail. my dog had to have half of tail off, he;d broken the tail half way up cost me loads at the vet,the tube stoppedhim getting at the stiches.good luck

For Christ's sake, get the dog to a bloody vet!!!

It needs the next joint or two amputated, and then stitched.

Then put a bandage over it to protect it.

 

Once tails are damaged, it takes forever to get them to heal - every time it wags or brushes against anything, it breaks open again
