I'm taking him to get them clipped tomorrow but also to the vet on tuesday to talk about removal. I think I need to get them removed now.
Yeah I've read about this happening before and it can be serious if they are ripped off. I guess keeping the nail trimmed is really important because they don't ever naturally wear them down. I've heard some good things about laser removal, if your vet is familiar with it, I've heard that healing time is faster.
