 When tails don't get docked
I have a litter that was premature by a few days.... tiny really thin babies; one didn't make it. When they were a week old, the vet advised me they were still too small to get their tails docked - just 6.5 and 7 oz. Well, Lo and behold now they are too big & docking will require soft tissue surgery!! Vet recommended that when they get neutered, the tails can be docked at that time - if the new mom/dad desires. Has anyone dealt with this situation? Did you have pups neutered and tails docked before you found them new homes? |
