I heard you're supposed to cut their nails every two months. But her nails have been hurting me when she gets on my lap. She was supposedly groomed about a week ago when i got her.
And another problem is she's biting and licking herself throughout the day. It used to be worse before, but she still does this and it interferes when i try to play with her or train her. My vet took a look and said he didn't see any signs of dry skin and that maybe i should use a shampoo that was hypoallergenic. I did this, but nothing's really changed. I'm using bitter apple spray for her fur biting, hair chewing, and hot spots (if she has any). It's helped a little but i don't think that's really going to solve the problem in the long run. Could it be fleas?
