Only cut off the curve...if they let you do it keep looking at the tip of the nail if you see a little black dot (this would be the quick) don't cut anymore...if not (like with my 2) then just cut the curve off. |
Thank you, you caught me just before I started. That was a very good piece of advice. I did just as you said and took only the curve. It was still white inside, and she did not yelp, so all was well. Still very much a battle, hopefully next time she will not struggle so much.
Thanks again
