Common tail injuries. An avulsion injury or nerve damage is damage to the tail caused by pulling which can affect the nerves and muscles. This injury usually occurs when a dog is hit by a car or the tail gets yanked very hard in some other way.
Unless the dog has had a spinal injury or trauma to the tail and the prognosis for nerve regeneration is truly low, amputation is simply irreversible body disfigurement! Puppies tails are docked within the first few days of the dogâs life-clearly NOT in response to an injury.
