I adopted a 2 yo dog 3 mo. ago and believe his tail was docked improperly, causing him pain. Though the procedure was not done recently, it is erythematous, scaling, and inflamed. He bites, licks, and scoots on the area. He randomly yelps out in pain, sulking as if we inflicted it. He is potty trained, but has random bouts of uncontrolled minor incontinence. Assuming these sxs are truly attributed to the docking, what can be done?? (I have had dogs with docked tails before, so, yes, I realize these complications are not common, but certainly possible).
