Was it the first time you took her to a vet or groomer where someone else besides you trimmed her nails?
I'm guessing at one time, even before you brought her home, she had a bad experiance where it was cut too short and hurt her or the person was a little to firm with her. Do you think you can trim her nails when she's asleep? Even if you only can get one before she wakes up, you can rotate every few days if you are up to trimming them yourself. Or can you distract her with her favorite treat that takes her time to gnaw on? Maybe that will help her associate good things with trimmings.
I can't trim Jazzie's nails because I'm afraid to hurt her so I do take her to the vet for trims. |
