As many of you know I had a very large dog, she was a Malamute X Husky, she was over 100lbs at her best. I have cut her nails from the day we got her till the day she died. Not a problem. We have a smaller dog and i have cut her nails 100X before, when she had her sight. Now that she is completely blind I am having issues doing it. I am afraid that i will nick a quick, or hurt her, or she will panic because she cant see what we are doing.
I dont have any kwik klot on hand... can I use corn starch in case i do nick her quick? She has white/clear nails so i can see the quick but she is a squiggle butt.
I also have a min pin but i am scared to death to do her nails so she goes to the vet $20 each time
and they nicked her last time they did it so I am thinking I may give it a shot cause why am I paying $20 for them to do exactly what I was afraid of doing.
so far I have been able to do her back nails... DH and I are taking a break so we dont stress her and then will get back at again in about 30 min
thanks for the suggestions and help..
