I also asked that they wait until he's 2 weeks old to dock his tail...he was just too small in my opinion, the vet agreed. Let me know your thoughts on this worming thing though...I never realized anyone wormed at 8-10 days? 
I've attached a picture of our little bundle of joy, too!  |
Your vet would dock the tail at 2 weeks?
It needs to be done between days 3-5 and sometimes 6 because the bone calcifies and it would be very painful. If you wait, it would need to be done under anesthesia.
