I tried a homeopathic remedy called "Rescue", which I'm told has a calming effect, but this did absolutely nothing for her, so I went past my vet again last night, and he has indicated that, rather than give GA, he will sedate her. He won't comatose her, but just make her very sleepy. He does not want me to do this at home, as he does not want her to stay sedated. As soon as the clipping is done, he is going to reverse the "drug".

I feel a lot better about doing it this way, but don't want to have to resort to such drastic measures every time her nails need cliping, so I'm hoping that I'll find a solution before her nails need cliping again.
