My vet showed me literature once that it can either be done 20 minutes right after birth or on the second day to 5 day max. It was mentioning both, tail docking and dewclaws removal. It explained the coagulation factors and nerve development and the antibodies from mothers ... i will not remember details but all these 3 factors were counted on determining the best timing to have these procedures done. .
I always had it done on day 2, both procedures. I can do it my self but i have the vets do it and use the surgical glue and absorbent stitches for the tails , it is a clean, fast and worry free way to have it done.
