Tail docking is usually done within the first 5 days, usually after the 2nd day. Past that, the procedure risks becoming more painful and traumatic and will need to be done under anesthesia and becomes a literal amputation that will be more difficult to heal. Unless there is an existing injury making it necessary, tail docking should not be considered after the first 5 days.

When is it to late to have a poodle's tail bobbed and dewclaws removed?

It is best to have all this done at a very young age, like around day 2. But It is never too late to remove dewclaws. But personaly, I have a puppy with dew claws and I do not want to take them out. But if your puppy will be digging, going through bushes, climbing or any other activities that could rip off their dew claws, then it would be beter to remove them. ( but they would be in pain when you do ) After day 2 it is too late to dock your dogs tail.

Why is your dog panting and her tail is down?

Dogs tails go down when they are not happy or feeling ill. Some dogs, particularly the hunting breeds experience what is known as "limber tail" after a period of exercise or day of hunting, generally when it is cold or damp. Dogs that are under-exercised and then experience of period of strenuous exercise can strain the muscles in the tail area that are associated with activity. This condition generally requires rest and the tail returns to normal within 48 hours.
