I gagged when I hear things from people that aren't helpful to others that are only seeking for information!
Knowledge is power and why keep it to yourself. If that is her only way of learning then so be it.
Not everyone has a mentor to follow.
BTW I have more than enough money to take them to the vet and I choose to do it myself and have my vet check them out on their first visit. |
Ok wait, I'm a bit confused, so let me try to get this right. The very first time you did dew claws yourself you had no one to help or tell you how to do it other than a book and youtube? If that's right, that's downright scary.
OP,
What I'm saying is, something like removing dewclaws by yourself without any prior knowledge, is freaking crazy. Trimming the nails already freaks me out enough. I am NOT saying that breeders who have been taught how to do it correctly by their vet or mentor should not do it themselves, but for people that are doing it for the
first time ever and not trained on how to do it? Do you really have no other option than to do it yourself? You couldn't at least called your vet and run it by him? You'd prefer to get advice from a complete stranger on the net? If you seriously think that's fine, then well I can't change your mind. I guess you just have a stronger stomach than me. I don't even want to watch the vid, I am so close to barfing right now just thinking about it.
