I think you have waited too long.tails are usually docked between 3-5 days old.after that they consider it an amputation and will put the dog under.
If I were you I would tell them they were three days old but you need to make that app.asap. hope this helps(and by the way this is exactly what I did with my pups)I did not think they were big enough to me to go through it so I waited a little longer and told then they were younger.no problems and they didn't cry.good luck
