It is okay to remind us old breeders when we are being too hard on you...we can take it..LOL
It is better to ask questions then make mistakes.
When it comes to tail docking there is no set day. The average is 3 or 4 days. If you have a big fat one, it may be ready at 2..you do not want the area bigger around then the diameter of a pencil.
I have docked as late as 12 days..that was an extreme tiny and the tail was the size of a normal newborn at 10 days. he did not react any different then doing one at 3 days..he was a preemie. |
