We pick up our little white bundle of joy tomorrow when he turns 9 weeks old.
Our co-ownership agreement requires us to have his ears cropped. We've had large athletic dogs in the past (Rottie and a show Rhodesian Ridgeback) but we have no experience with ear cropping. I'm concerned about finding a proper and experienced veterinarian here in Northern NJ since I assume that there is some specialization required to perform the surgery properly.
A few questions:
1) Can anyone recommend an experienced vet for ear cropping here in NJ?
2) Is it truly a specialty like I believe it is or is my neighborhood vet qualified to perform this as "routine"?
3) What are you opinions on when is the best time to perform this procedure?
Thanks!
