Don't know where to post this...but we got London's nails cut today!

They were SO long because everytime we try to cut them she squirms like crazy, not even me or my bf can hold her still. And last time we asked the vet to do it and they forgot

So we took her to the groomers today and they were very nice about it and did it. She was not so happy! lol It took 2 workers to hold her.

I have to go back in like 2 weeks cause they said her veins grew so they have to cut them again so they can go down.

Glad you were able to get her nails cut. It took us a long time to get my boys used to it. But I kept at it, and now they stay still, even though they hate it. The best way is to do it frequently and take off a tiny bit.

Bentley hates getting his nails trimmed & from the looks of it we're gonna have to get them done again soon..

I always get so scared when I watch them do it, cuz he's such a squirmy worm!

One of the vet techs told me once that wrapping them in a blanket "burrito" works too. You literally wrap them like a burrito (not their head) and have someone hold them. Just leave out one leg at a time while you trim the nails.

They can't squirm as much. I've tried it once or twice and it worked. It might be worth a try.
