Here is a link that tells you how to cut nails and it has great pictures and it is very detailed so you will know what you are doing and not second quessing yourself. It is a great link and if you know anyone who needs to know how to cut a dog's nails, it would be something you would want to pass on. Anyways here it is, enjoy!!!  http://www.vetmed.wsu.edu/ClientED/dog_nails.asp |
THANK YOU so much for posting this. I was really starting to panick
Poor Sissy, I just cut into her vein, it is 3:45AM our time and only 3 others on line here, but must be sleeping too cause no one responded to my PM... I was able to settle down & not be so nervous after reading this link you placed here. Tomorrow I buy a pen or quick stop. I may never cut their nails again, I never made them bleed before, how scarey
I have never experienced a feeling tlike this but at the very end of the link you placed, it says even without treatment, the bleeding should stop within 5 minutes. Well it took 10 but that was the longest 10 minutes of my poor babies life, well she was fine, a little tiny yipe but no cry,
it was the longest of my life.. Thankss
