yes if there is any doubt of a retained placenta have the oxitocin shot...infects can cause havoc and if left untreated can harm the health of the mom and the pups.
tails should be docked at 3-5 days Ive waited up to 8 days because the pups were very tiny. I read your other post about the tail docking PLEASE never leave newborn pups without their moms for 2 - 3 hours...find another vet if he can't accomodate you in a timely manor.
