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 ?

To all of you who got a bit upset with my thought of trying this procedure for the first time and then leaving for Mexico. I understand your concerns and
I'm sorry if I upset any of you that was not my intension. I just was trying to be responsible by asking questions and thinking of all my options out loud to all of you. I have been in on the procedure many times at the breeder
I worked for but never did the snipping myself,
rather just held the puppies for her. I know all of her puppies where three days old. I just wasn't sure if it could be done before that. So I turned to fellow breeders at this forum for answers. I would never put my babies in jeopardy and was planning on taking them to the vet as soon as I returned from Mexico next weekend. But because there is such a small window for this procedure to take place I felt I may have no choice but to do it myself .
I found out everything I needed to here at YT and have since scheduled an appointment for this Monday. My friend will be taking them and letting me know how everything is on a daily bases. Thank you for caring and for all of the info.
