I asked what to put on it if it started bleeding again, and she said Corn Starch, or red pepper ( ). The visit cost less than the clippers I bought! They only charged $10.50 for the vist.

We went to Petsmart afterwards. I got clippers and Styptic powder (sorry no red pepper on my babies feet!). Suff looks like the same color stuff she was using! Now that I'm home looking at it, the stypict also comes with the clippers too. I'm sure it cost a lot more than corn starch but my babies deserve the best. And I got this boy some beggin strips, since I couldn't get him interested in a toy. I know he likes them, my sister gives them to her dogs, and when he's down there, he gets one too. He deserved something yummy after going through that.

I was so afraid they were going to ask me to leave the room! I just know I'd die in the waiting area, especially if I heard one yelp out of him. I heald him while they did this, with my face really close and talked to him the whole time. He was a champ through the whole thing.

Thank you all so much for being here! This place means sooo much to me!
Glad to hear all went well!! I was going to mention the corn starch as well but, I thought this was a "home remedy" that my Mom came up with...guess not! O....just wanted to tell you...I dont' take Sadie out of the sink when I cut her nails...Like Villette said..they act like you are ripping the nail off..I leave Sadie in the sink (feet soaking) and suds her up. I let her stand for a couple of seconds and then (I talk to her the entire time) start cutting her nails telling her what a good girl she is...all the time she is looking at me like....I am not enjoying this at all Mom!
