Good luck! I think the hardest part can be getting your babies to hold still. Mine all have different tricks that work. With Kirby, as soon as I place him in the tub, he kind of gives up. Clip, clip, clip and he's done. Ginger requires two of us (the little monkey). With Bernie, it works best to wrap him in a towel (like a baby), hold him on my lap, free just one paw and go to work.
As far as the black nails go, I use a clipper with a little stopper on it, so that I can't clip really far...then if they have gotten long, I clip again a couple of days later. If you do cut the quick, don't panic, just have quick stop or even corn starch handy. If you're calm, they'll be fine.
Again, good luck! |
