Im so worried that the pain will be to much. Pup was fading, got him back to health. Could not do it when Ill so vet says wait till Monday. That brings them to 6 days. I think if I do this I will have to make them a bit longer, because their tails become thicker. Size of nickal maybe. Any feed back would be appreciated. I do not like cutting on the pups at all. But know it has to be done. Blondschillin
