My Jazzi just had 4 puppies yesterday morning at 8:00 A.M. She had 2 girls and 2 boys
that will be ready for 4ever homes at Christmas Time ! Great planning on her part.
I am leaving for Mexico tonight and don't have time to go to the vet B4 I go.
Yes this is bad planning on my part but my trip was planned first! LOL. My best friend who has owned yorkies her entire life will be watching all of them but does not want to deal with dragging them all to the vet. I know how to do both of these procedures having worked for a breeder B4, but have never attempted it on my own. My question, is 30 hrs. much to young to attempt this? I've always heard between 3 & 5 days.
Also with the dew claws, do you just snip it off or are you supposed to leave anything at all ?
