| claws They can be removed very easily. The back ones hang like a skin tag..nothing like the front ones. I would have the vet snip them off now...might now even require a stitch. |

| claws We might get some upset people over this, but I would simply take the scissors and snip them like a skin tag. Hold a paper towel on them and press...if there is blood for more then a minute or so..put some Quik stop on them... My vet took some off for me years ago and all he did was clip it and no stitch was needed. Teh dog jumped, but not any reaction it was so fast..like pulling a very loose tooth. |
