    I cannot BELIEVE this!!!!!!!!

    Long story short. Neighbour across the street from me got an adorable little long hair chihuahua from the neighbour next door to her.

    While I was holding the sweet thing, I noticed I didn't feel any claws. I mentioned this to the woman and she said that the woman she got the dog from had him DECLAWED ON ALL FOUR PAWS!!!! I was in shock.
    I have never ever heard of a dog being declawed and don't know much about a chihuahua, but is this usually done to this breed????

    OMG! I've never heard of that before either. How does the poor little thing scratch? That's sooo sad.
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    I've heard of removing the 'dewclaw', which is the thumb, but not all the nails.

    No it is not something that is done to chis. I can't believe any vet in his/her right mind would de-claw any dog except for removing the dew claws. That is just horrible! Poor fella. The owner that requested that be done and the vet that did it both need a good smack!

    that is weird. My vet did remove one toenail from one dog once but it was because there was some sort of problem with that particular nail (I can't remember what it was, but it was something out of the ordinary).

    Poor pup . I had never heard of such a thing for a dog. I have heard and been around debarked dogs (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNNO1K2_-2U for an example), but not declawing. Some people seem ready to do whatever it takes to make a dog fit into their ideals. As horrid as it is, I am almost positive animal control could do nothing about it. The dog is being fed and cared for, and isn't even with the owner who had it done. The most one could do was if they knew which vet did it, they could lodge a complaint perhaps with the American Veterinary Association or something.
