I'm sure they are here somewhere although I know everyone does it a little different.....
Pull up on the tail and the muscle comes up.

I use medical septic stick on the dew claws, inserting into the gap. Never had them bleed. And clotisol on the tails. A good liquid bandage from your vet or a vet supply company is good too.
