My puppy is uncomfortable after tail docking. What else could it be?

Question

David Elbeze, I understand what you mean, but no it is not illegal here. However my biggest concern now is to help my puppy feel better, without being judged. The procedure was done by a vet, but vets are closed because of the category 5 hurricane passing. If I carass the puppy he feels better and falls asleep, could it be something else other than the docked tail?

I am unaware of the previous conversation. I am assuming one of Maia's puppies have a tail docked and you are unsure what to do. Typically tail docking is done with in 2-4 days of birth. At this age typically pain medication is not dispensed. I would recommend just allowing the puppy to stay with mom because she can calm and take care of the puppy the best. If the puppy is not able to be with warm I would recommend keeping it in a warm comfortable area. If the puppy is not acting right vomiting, lethargic, diarrhea this is typically not from the tail dock but still needs to be addressed by a vet. Hope that helps!
