So you're able to actually get the clipper around her nail? Shouldn't it be very quick at that point to actually cut the nail?
If she is freaking out after the nail is cut, I'd recommend getting treats out, and lavishly treating her before and after cutting just one nail. I think if you do one nail every night, she'll eventually calm down. Also, I assume you're sure you're not cutting them too short, right?
