You are a veterinarian who has been brought an eight-week old Cocker Spaniel puppy for a vaccination. You notice immediately that the animal's tail has been
docked, but the tail stub is infected and smells terribly. The owner asks you to take a
look at it. They tell you that they completed the procedure themselves last week. It
was their first litter of puppies, so they weren't sure if they did it right. They are
selling the puppies as pets, but they felt like the puppies had to look right in order
for them to get more money from the sales. The owner asks if you would complete
the tail docking the next time they have puppies, because they don't want to mess it
up again. What do you do?
