My first Yorkie Suki had a tail and dewclaws. When she was six months old, we had her spayed, removed baby teeth, and removed the dewclaws. I chose not to cut her tail. My vet said at that age it is very painful and we would have to watch her constantly because it would drive her nuts and she would bite at it. The dewclaws didnt seem to bother her much. They closed the incision with that glue stuff they use and wrapped with bandages for a few days. She never bothered it. I just knew I didnt want to put her under more than once so opted to do it all during spay. |
