I agree with the others, the tail should only be docked the first week, but some of our members have had dewclaws removed when their dogs were neutered. You might want to ask the vet about this, dewclaws have been known to catch on things and the tear can be quite painful. If the vet doesn't think it necessary, make sure you keep the dewclaw nail clipped when you get the other nails clipped, as the nails can grow too long and curve into the skin. |
