My dog diesel appears to have broken her tail. Word on the street/google says they normally will dock the tail. That being said, shes going to the vet in the am. Anybody here have any idea what this is going to cost me? thanks EDIT: dog is a 4 year old, 25 lb beagle. ---

you need a heavy duty rubber band to stop blood flow, as well as some ice probably. ---

Not much you can do for a broken tail, my JuJu has one for the last two months( Italian Greyhound happens alot) does not effect him at all. ---

Shouldn’t be worried about the bill, you should be worried about your dogs feelings. Like I said I know my dog is different, it happens to them all the time. But if i were you I would take him to the vet and stop worrying about money, how would you feel if your owner wouldn’t take you to the vet because he didn’t want to spend a few hundred dollars on your well being?Its not fair, if you think its bad most times its is. Dont ask a online forum, just take him there, you wouldn’t ask about one of your kids fingers that got stuck in a car door and is hanging if you should take them to the hospital or not would you? Sorry, I just love my dogs and would do anything to help or protect them. Not saying you dont or would not. ---
