Anyhow, it would be very painful to have the tails docked or the dewclaws removed now.. So don't.. Anne had the best idea, if the new owners want the declaws removed they can do it during a spay. Declaws are just a nunsence, not a major problem and the tails are just for show and the look. |
If you would have followed my thread before when I first posted about Sabrina being pregnant you would have known that I didn't plan on getting Sabrina pregnant because she was too small it just happened, the vet wanted me to wait until Sabrina got a little bigger and gained a little more weight to spay her...as far as doing research the only reason I didn't do any research is because I never actually saw my dogs get stuck, I only suspected a pregnancy and when I took her to the vet the first time I thought she was pregnant he told me she was empty, that he didn't feel anything or hear anything and that if she was pregnant she was to early in her pregnancy for an x-ray but he assured me it was a phantom pregnancy, which 3 weeks later turned out to be 4 really big babies. I do read as much as I can but more about life threatening problems, diets, grooming, not pregnancy or puppies because I didn't think I would be in this situation. Maybe before you start trying to insult people you do your own research...because I can get really ugly!!! I'm not a breeder and wasn't trying to become one using Sabrina, when I was ready to start a breeding program I would have gotten a mentor unfortunately this wasn't planned and after I paid almost $4000 for a C-Section you would of thought that the doctors would of told me what steps I had to take next they didn't even tell me when the babies would need their first shots, I had to call around...a little advice to other people on here that get the idea that being nasty to someone is going to get through to them, surprise it won't
in fact you might just piss someone off, like me, and I can really be nasty right back so when you see someone asking for advice if you don't have anything helpful to say don't say nothing at all.
FOR EVERYBODY ELSE THAT GAVE GREAT ADVICE...THANKS, I DEFINITELY DIDN'T KNOW THAT SEDATING BABIES COULD HURT THEM, MY VET MADE IT SOUND LIKE EVERYTHING WOULD BE OKAY BUT I KNEW I SHOULD ASK FIRST BEFORE EXCEPTING HIS OPINION AS FACT, THANKS FOR THE INFO AND I DEFINITELY WILL NOT BE GETTING THEIR TAILS DONE...I DO BELIEVE THEY WOULD BE EXCELLENT SHOW DOGS, I ENTERED THEIR FATHER INTO A SHOW HERE IN CT, HE DIDN'T TAKE THE PRIZE HOME BUT HE WAS ONE OF THE LAST FIVE FINALIST. I'M THINKING OF ENTERING HIM IN MORE SHOWS, HE NEEDS MORE EXPERIENCE, WE DIDN'T REALLY HAVE ALOT OF TIME TO TRAIN HIM FOR THE SHOW SO HE MADE A MISTAKE OR TWO LIKE NOT STANDING STILL FOR THE JUDGE, AND HE DID SNAP AT ONE OF THE OTHER DOGS THERE SO THAT MIGHT OF MADE HIM LOSE HIS CHANCE AT A WIN, BUT NEXT TIME HE WILL BE BETTER TRAINED. CAN'T YOU DOCK THE TAILS ALSO WHEN YOU GET THE BABIES SPAYED AND NEUTERED, JUST IN CASE A POTENTIAL BUYER ASK???
