It was good that you let the vet dock the tail and do the dew claws while you were there. He knew what he was doing. Our vet tech said that if you wait longer than 3 or 4 days they start to develop a blood supply and then sometimes they have to stitch. They had to do that with our first litter of puppies...never again. I felt like such a rotten person, but I mistakenly thought the period was 4 to 5 days after. So glad you came through okay. See, your Mommy dog did great and had her first litter with little or no trouble.
