I have one front set completed. Its going to be a LONG night. I have the first aid kit opened in the bathroom, just in case! I am really trying to get Chloe's one front claw that is too thick and growns downward into her pad. I noticed that today, it is nearly penetrating the pad. Rather than spend $345 at the vet, I have decided to catch the little worm and clip that nail myself. I have padding on my lap and have a heavy long sleved sweather on too. Right now she's under the comfortor, keeping warm. She seems calm right nowl She let me look at the claw and touch it earlier today, so it must not hurt her at this point. I had compleley forgotten she has that one thick, bum nail.......and I was shocked to see how much it had grown and down into her poor little pad. Bad mom. I hope my clipping skills are up to par so that I don't freak her out too much. I should have had the claw completely removed when she was a kitten, as it was deformed then. The malformed claw made her a free kitty to me.....and was asked to NOT breed her since the entire litter had deformed claws.......The breeders will never match those two parents again. Chloe is one sweet girl though. One can hardly tell she has a nail issue on one paw. Don't we all have issues with our stupid toenails.
Here goes, I am going to catch her now.......wait....Right,,,,I just looked at her and she ran off the bed. Smart. Well, when I say I am going to do it, I am ......so this may be an all night affair.
Wish me luck!
