| After a long hard labor/ how many days should I wait to have tail done!!! Tonight will be 3 days, I do not want to stress the pups out so quickly since that was such a stressful labor. Day 5 or so do you think this is best. |

| I like to dock tails on day 4 or day 5. If the pups are on the larger side and are eating well and well rounded then I would do them on day four. If they are on the smaller side then wait until day 5 as long as they are eating well and gaining. |
