Rear dew claw removal.

[Bowland blades]

1 connected, 1 not connected. That was my wifes first reaction... "can't they just be banded like a lambs tail"

Only ever had one dew claw removed . It was a dangler (none connected ) I note most vets don't do them now unless defective or injured . Was common to just lop them off when I got my first done in the 80s for reasons of the detached one the dog had . Progressive vet of the day said leave tge rest ,

Thanks @Buchan she is a bavarian mountain hound so will be hip and elbowed before breeding. The main cost in the quote is the surgery (@£40 per minute) then the rest is anaesthetic and after care so I think doing both is the way forward.

SOunds sensible to combine with the GA for the XRays then.

The law states any non essential surgery cannot be carried out by a lay man but life saving ,heavy blood loss can be dealt with with impunity .Surgical staples should be carried ,owned by every working dog owner and the owner made aware how to use them .
