Doggone it!

Dear Dr. Baum --

Our pit-bull mix breed dog recently had an injury to her tail (about 2 inches broke off after being caught in a door). It has been recommended to amputate all or part of her tail. Is this necessary? Is there a non-surgical method of helping her tail heal?

Thank you,
Scott, Culver City, CA

Dear Scott --

If her tail "broke off" there is no other option but to surgically repair the open end.

Good luck,
Dr. Baum
