This is the first time we have ever had a puppy quite this tiny and I am a bit concerned about the appointment to dock the tail and have the dew claws done.
Those of you who have had tiny puppies ( 2 oz ) do you bring them in to have this procedure done on the 3rd day, or do you wait until they are a bit larger?
Tulsa's puppy seems to be doing very well, she is just very tiny, but I am concerned that if I bring her in she might not handle it as well as some of the other larger puppies ( 4-5 oz ) we have had in other litters.

I would really appreciate any advice you might have. Thank you .....
