My husky has to be scheduled for a surgery time slot at the vet and it's $78.00 she has to be completely sedated breathing tube and all. 😥 Don't know what happened but she always did really good at the groomer's for a long time until one visit the groomer said nope it's not going to happen.. 🤔 took her to the animal hospital where she was given 2 shot's to relax her. Well nope she never relaxed she was walking around no problem wanting to leave. They took her back to a room and she yelped, barked, yelled didn't get them all and had two spot's that were bleeding… when my son was paying she was standing next to him and she hit the floor, was okayed to leave she slept for hour's…
Thank you so much for this video. This has been why I had groomer trim my girls dark nails, been terrified of nipping the quicks. Now if there was a way to keep my sweetie from squirming when I try to trim her nails. The groomer states my girl is very tolerant when she does it. When I try, my girl runs away or wiggles/squirms to get away. Tried with treats and being very calm/slow, but no success. My girl is a rescue from a shelter.
Dr. A.J how do I trim my rescues nails without having such a struggle? I have to take her into the vet to have them do it where she also puts up a fight, one vet already told us not to bring her back. When I try to do it she literally screams like I'm killing her. It's so stressful I end up having a major asthma attack. Can't do anything with her. If she ever needs meds I have no clue what I'll do.
This is one thing I have the hardest time with 😣

TYFS 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you I really needed this! Do you think I could do this with guinea pigs darker/black nails as well?
Unfortunately our dog fights a trim.
Thank you very much for explaining this. Our Golden’s nails were black which I was terrified to trim. I’ll be prepared in the future.
You are wonderful.
Thanks Dr. Andrew,
That's the same way you do it for cats with black or darker colored nails. ❤😊
