And to cut too far on most of the nails??? I mean, it happens occasionally, but not on most of them! That is why I cut Ellie's myself though. I know how fast vets and techs cut them and I think I can do a better job of making sure her quicks don't get cut.

That's EXACTLY why I wanted to have them cut at the vet's office this time. Her nails are so tiny and she squirms so much, I knew I could never cut them myself. I normally cut the nails of all the others myself, but I was too afraid of hurting Pippin.

With my vet they've never actually offered to trim nails, I guess maybe a difference between Ontario and US. I do trim my wee ones' nails, but until I felt confident with that wee little paw my breeder did it for me.

So very glad Pippin is okay.

No, they don't usually offer to trim nails here, either. I'd specifically asked them to trim them for me because I was afraid of hurting her if I did it. Oh and usually mine are weighed in front of me, but she's so little they use special scales that they keep in the back.
