When I dock my puppies tails there is very little crying. After 30 minutes they are quiet and settled down. That is why I do my own tails and dewclaws....it is very stressful on the mom and the puppies going to the vets. Are the puppies crying because they are hungry? Does the mom have plenty of milk to keep them satisfied? When the pups are that age the mom will not want to stay right with the pups. I let my moms come in the living room with me when they want too and they let me know when they want back in with the pups. Make sure the puppies are warm also. |
