As for cutting the quick, sometimes no matter how careful we are it just happens but it shouldn't happen with every nail. I know some groomers will purposely cut them short and quick them but I think that is wrong.

The dewclaws are bad about really curling so I would just about bet that they are not in her skin but just curled back. Rear dewclaws are pretty uncommon in yorkies and they should have been removed but some breeders don't remove dewclaws.

Oh I am PRAYING they are just curled and aren't actually grown into her skin. She gets mad at me everytime I try to touch them and runs away. Thank you.
