I've had it done twice at the vet's and she doesn't seem to mind that much but they do know what they're doing and I don't. Keep in mind, too, that I've never had a child so I've never even cut an infant's nails.
I think my distress will probably transfer to my Yorkie and therefore I am chicken to even try. |
I know what you mean, they say they can sense your feelings, and I just can't pretend I'm calm. After watching Joey's breeder do it, I gained confidence, and everything was ok for a while, until I cut too short causing one to bleed slightly. After that I just couldn't do it. I guess the best advice is just cut the tips. The nail trimmers with the guard didn't help Joey; they still allowed me to cut too much.
