Tail docking at 2 days of age - there is no need for stitching as the wound is small and will close by granulation. Hygiene is important. Potassium permanganate powder was applied to the wound to stop any bleeding. UPDATE in 2020: The wounds heal very well. In Singapore, tail docking is banned. Toa Payoh Vets does not offer this service.
