i figure I will have to cut the cord because Silk had to have some upper teeth removed and I'm afraid she will pull a hernia trying. Do you think she will be able to shred it if I hold like this? You know I am still researching. I have never heard of the "shredding". How do you do that. My plan is to clamp and cut. I just didn't know why blunt is better. I have those ready by the way and being a retired nurse, I have the hemostats too.
