GAV*81 15 Posted April 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 I think I will try the vets because I've tried a muzzle but she won't keep still and goes mad, would the vet take her nails right back? Quote Link to post

Good idea that sowhat i would just muzzle and get a mate to pick it up around the middle but if there really bad and hes not confident then without someone else with expierence to do it, the vets would be his best option Quote Link to post
baw 4,360 Posted April 3, 2013 Report Share Posted April 3, 2013 Think there is a lesson to be learned here for guys with pups. Pick your pups paws up regularly to inspect them, make them used to handling them. Even pretend to cut their nails. Save a lot of hassle later on. 7 Quote Link to post
