I personally use a straight edge hemostat clamp on the tail. I clamp down where I want to cut and twist three times and then I slice with straight razor. I've done hundreds of tails this way never had one bleed out and I've never used septic just dip in white flour and gie back to momma.
Dew Claws Get the smallest pair of curved hemostats you can get clamp down under the dew claw knuckle will pop out flick it with your thumb and it will fall off or you can slice with razor. I personally just flick it off.
this is what I do with my jagds...
