I have had multiple episodes of cutting the quick in the yorkies nails. My one yorkie is a "digger" so everytime I cut his nail,s he bleeds. I'm convinced he wears them down himself and they don't really need to be clipped. My other yorkie, her's are much easier to cut and I just take off a little at a time. I also do this right after the bath when they are wrapped in a towel or even when they try to stand in the tub! They're upset about the bath so they don't seem to mind the nails, too. I try to kill two birds with one stone, if you know what I mean. |
