Attack Fell Terrier 864 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 What sort of dog is it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Annmarie09 5 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 Depends on whether the vet amputates the tail or not! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 15, 2009 Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 How old is your pup? Depends at which joint it has broken on as to how much you will pay. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
NOOK/ANNA 96 Posted December 15, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) She's a 5months 3rd gen bull x grey bitch. The breaks about an inch and a half from the base of the tail. It has seem to have set at a 50degre angle from the rest of the tail. I would rather not amputate it. It dosent seem to be causing her any discomfort, just looks odd. Want to get it sorted tho.

stealthy1 3,964 Posted December 16, 2009 Report Share Posted December 16, 2009 At that age the your dogs bones are still very soft, the vet should be able to reset it with a bit of luck Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TOPPER 1,809 Posted December 17, 2009 Report Share Posted December 17, 2009 young dog like that should be no problem, a couple of lolly sticks and some gaffer tape do the job fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
