mama jo WAS, I would definately consider it. She doesn't seem to be miserable at all. We are giving her pain med once a day and an antibiotic. She is like a totally different girl already:))
So far no regrets at all!!!


not just my bulldogs, but my heart & soul!!

tails were really bad. They never had any issues once this was done, but like all surguries there are risks involved. Many people on this site have had there dogs tails removed. The only thing that I noticed is that I had to wipe there butts everytime they came in. Just kept baby wipes by the door and we were good to go.

they'll come an teach me.

she had done many of them and has found that they always help. It is me who is still thinking about it. I trust my vet whole heartedly but...

My handsome Malcolm, gone but not forgotten!

The thought of having my girl's tail amputated is still on the table for us. Glad to see that it went so well and it looks so good post-op.

I know, I just realized that I'm asking for a pic your bullies butt. LOL
But I'm curious to know what it looks like now.

Hurley has a tight tail pocket and we have mentioned amputation as an option. What are the worries you had? Any possible spinal issues or nerve damage issues?

being infected and way to tight. She will forgive you and be ever grateful, no itching, pain, smelly butt. It took about a week for them to really settle down with it, just think how long this has been going on and then they were the happest girls, butt wiggles galore, but without the hateful tail.

I think it looks pretty good too. From all I've hears from other people on the board, tail amputatations can make all the difference in the world in making a bully feel better.

I'm sure she'll forgive you

I waited 2 1/2 yrs before I had Sumo's removed. Chronic infection and odor and nothing helped. He was so much happier once it was gone and his recovery time was pretty short.

You could apply warm compresses to help lessen swelling. I would wet a washcloth and nuke it, then when it warmed up enough to touch I would hold it on the area. Ake loved it and would lay there and purr.

Hope she feels better soon.

Our vet didn't sound confident that he would be able to do it with no problems, which is why we decided not to, at least until we find a vet who can do it.
I'm so glad everything came out well. Give hugs from us!

Wow, her tail really had some turns and wrinkles. My Dottie had an inverted tail and I had to clean it all the time.

I'm sure your girl will feel much better. I hope her recovery goes quickly.

spinal problems or nerve issues, so that made me feel better with our decision. Not to say there aren't those concerns, but he felt he had done this proceedure many times without problems. I asked!!
