Sorry about your old man. It's terrible watching them get old. Maybe you could try waiting until he's sleeping pretty well and then try clipping one or two nails until he wakes up. Then next time he's sleeping try to do a couple more. I have an old guy that's in kidney failure and I've found this approach works pretty well for giving him his SQ fluids. If he's awake, he puts up a terrible fight but if I can get the fluids started while he's asleep, he seems to take it much better. Good luck. |
