I will try the excercises. Thank you, thank you !!!!!!!!! |
Puppy toenails by 4 weeks can be very pointed and sharp. It can be very uncomfortable for the nursing momma having those sharp toenails scratching on her teats. I use a small pair if fingernail clippers and just clip off the tip where it is pointing down.
You might want to think about giving them a little more room. Here is a picture of my setup I had for some 4 1/2 week old pups. Mom can go in out of the puppy area and not be trapped
