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 |
thanks, I'm going to get it done today hopefully. Any idea what the going rate is ? I think I read $40. is that PER pup ?
prob too late for rubber bands , huh ?
just read this:
What I do is take a rubber band and cut it in half. Place it on the pups tail (have someone hold the pup for you so you can use 2 hands). Tie the band tight at about 1/4 inch. The tail grows but the band restricts blood flow and the tail simply dies and falls off. No pain and no fuss. It usually take 3 - 5 days.
