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. |
Yes that is how I learned. The same way I learned how to assist my yorkie when she is in delivery and I wasn't scard one bit!!!
Would I do a csection on my own dog? No that is foolish and I have no experience here as that is a full surgery. However clamping and doing there tails was no problem at all.
Bloodless of course...can you stomach that? Go look at the dew claws on my web page. They are remove and pictures there of the claws.
It helps to learn and continue learning as I move on in life...
