I ALWAYS , have mine done at day 2 and puppies are not always above 7 ounces at day 2 and i never had a problem, and on that matter i speak for me and also family, fellow club members that never had a single problem by docking at day 2. No problems with the proper healing if right absorbent thread is used to suture and "surgical glue" used right after it to prevent mom from licking the sutures off.
I can do it myself , but prefer the vets to do it... and yes, i have proper background training on sutures and small procedures, i still preffer to take to the vet to have it done.
