He did have them, and I am treating him for that as well as regular cleaning, flushing and disinfecting just to be sure. Like I said his legs were in an awful state and the smell was awful, I was using tweezers to get under the scales and it was so bad I just chucked them afterwards because I...

Um, I guess it depends on the size of the clippers, the strength of them and the size of the spurs. personally I wouldn't use dog clippers due to the size of this guys spurs since they wouldn't have fit anyways. But if you do I'd love to know how they go
