It is generally not recommended to dock a dog's tail after 6 weeks of age.
* Pain and complications: Tail docking after 6 weeks can be more painful for the dog and increase the risk of complications like infection, bleeding, and nerve damage.
* Ethical considerations: Many animal welfare organizations consider tail docking unnecessary and potentially harmful.
The best course of action is to consult with a veterinarian. They can assess your dog's specific situation and advise you on the appropriate course of action.
Please remember:
* Always seek professional veterinary advice for any questions regarding your pet's health and well-being.
* Never attempt to perform any medical procedures on your pet without consulting a veterinarian.
