I just had a similar experience with Destiny. I keep her nails trimmed short on a regular basis and she has long hair as well. But somehow the nail cracked or splintered on the side and it kept getting caught on everything and she would scream out every time it happened.
I hated to cut it because I knew it would be going into the quick because the nail was already short but I didn't want her to keep going through it so I cut it. However this particular nail for some reason was just mush where I cut it. No quick or real any hard substance. Kinda hard to explain but not how a normal nail is when you cut it.
Anyways crisis averted and all is well. So sometimes even when the nail is cut short it can still catch. I think I'm just going to go back to filing their nails even though I hate it because it takes twice as long. I think the nail clipper is splintering their nail when I cut it. Just something to keep in mind. |
