Four days old today Puppies visited our Vet, Dr. Tim Wolf today at Mason Animal Hospital to have their dew claws removed. Dew claws if removed should be done on Day 3 or 4. Our Vet decided today was the day. This procedure isn't a requirement but it is the best thing in the long run for the health of the dog... Dew claws can get caught on things indoors or obstacles outdoors resulting in a nasty injury to the dog that could have been prevented.
Pups are now color coded with rick rack collars. It was possible to tell them apart up close but was becoming a challenge to keep track from a distance. When they were born we kept a record of their weight, time of birth, and distinguishing marks, This will make our daily check over and weigh ins go faster and smoother as well.
Till next time...

Congratulation on a healthy mom and babes. Nice ratio of boys and girls.
I'm glad they did well with the vet!
