No. Administering stitches to a dog is a painful process and the dog might react violently due to the pain if the vet tries to put on stitches without sedating him. So it is best to sedate the dog before trying to sew him up.

Why do some people cut the tails off dogs because it sounds mean?

Dogs use their tails to communicate to each other.Some dogs injure their tails and need to have them amputated. In those cases, the amputation can be done under anesthesia, like any other surgery.Some people cut the tails off puppies for cosmetic reasons (or to meet "breed standards.") If performed without anesthesia, amputation is extremely painful regardless of the age of the puppy or dog. It is cruel to amputate dogs' tails without anesthesia. Even with anesthesia, amputating dogs' tails for cosmetic purposes or "breed standards" is unnecessary surgery.However, don't rush to judge someone you see walking a dog with an amputated tail or cropped ears. The person may have rescued the dog from a shelter after the amputation was performed.
