Nail trimming Thanks Christi and Orinskye! I can hold her paw and rub her nails and between the nails etc. That's fine with her, but just take out the clippers and WILD DOG! She fights so bad, you wouldn't believe it. I've tried wrapping her in a towel---she gets out no matter how tight we wrap---. My husband holds her down while I clip. Last time, he had to go get gloves on because she was scratching him so bad. I was also scratched up bad. I so want not to have to have her go through this every time, but am at a loss as what to do or how to proceed differently. I stop and give her treats in between and love and soothe her etc. but she is just a 3# terror. You woldn't believe the strength of this little one. I am so afraid she will get hurt when this happens. I would take her to the vet for it, but I could hear her screaming way out in the waiting room. What to do? |
