d-claws, size of dog, feeding and frequency of urination

[og]

couple of questions for you regulars or the doc...

1. my beagle is now 6 months old. is it too late to have her d-claws removed? should i? they don't seem to be a problem and she only has them on her front legs.

2. my beagle is 6 months, weighs about 16 pounds and is about 12" from floor to 'shoulder'...she is skinny and very muscular... does this sound right? should she be heavier? will she get larger?

3. we feed her twice a day. is this good? should we feed her more often/less often?

4. seems like she has to go out every hour. sometimes more often. many times she just goes to the door to go out and play and never does her 'business'. does this sound normal?


thanks all! happy new year!

dews can be removed with tiny Orthodontist rubber bands just place one around each dew and about 2wks they will fall off no problems
