I think some vets do it early since they use Cauterization techniques which lessens blood loss. I personally do their tails and dew claws myself, but if I didn't do them myself I wouldn't allow my vet to do them before day 4. I have 2 mentors whom I trust completely and they have a combined 80 plus years of experience in breeding yorkies so I feel they know what works best for these furbabies. I have seen too many vets dock early and then lose a puppy afterwards which I feel could have been prevented by waiting an extra day or 2 till they are abit stronger to handle it. I have been known to dock my litters on different days often due to having a tiny one I felt needed to wait an extra day or 2.
