| Abstract | ||||
| The indications and techniques for tail amputation were studied in 25 sheep < /strong>. The distribution of the blood vessels within the organ and their importance for the surgical interventions were also studied in 8 amputat ed tails and 4 dead animals. Amputation p < /strong>roved to be the radical treatment for many surgical affect ions of the tail in sheep < /strong>. complete amputation was much more easier than partial amputation, where in the former technique the belly of the organ with the massive amount of fat and numerous collateral blood vessels imbeded in it could be avoided. The arterial blood supply of the tail is from the median caudal artery while the venous drainge is via two sources, the median caudal vein and the ventrolateral caudal vein which arise, in sheep, from the caudal gluteal vein. | ||||
