I always ask my vet to check to see if it needs to be done and he has never needed to do it to Tino or Bunny. Its definitely something that 1) would never do... I have a horrible gag reflex and just the thought of it is too much for me and 2) I would have the vet do if they needed it.
Mine have never scooted across the floor unless they had something left from going potty, so I haven't ever worried abt it, I heard that is the first sign. |
