Can anyone help?

Thanks for the link mr.chiwawa, that's interesting, something I will check into.
Joyce, we're all fed now. I got brave and took Lacey out. She's doing ok. I gave her an extra pill for her allergies to help keep her quiet through the night. Not to worry, she's only taking 1/2 of what she can take, an extra one won't hurt her.

Just a morning update. Lacey seems to have cleaned her paw up overnight. Blood all over her sheet on her bed.(we had blood and flour everywhere yesterday) She has been out and ate and it is holding up. We're just watching she doesn't lick at it today and no running around. Thank you all for being there for this worried mom.

oh and Lacey says thanks Buster for the get well kiss, she's feeling better now.

I'm glad Lacey is better. I, too, am afraid to cut my dogs' nails....I even bought some trimmers, thinking I would start cutting Boomer's since he was a pup, but I had a dog when I was a kid who always bled, so I've always shied away from it. I have to take Cassie to the vet this week to get hers trimmed. Since she is not as active as she used to be, they are really, really long.....in her younger years, she used to go full bore after something, and she has ripped and/or shredded at least 2 or 3 in her life. Give Lacey a hug and a kiss from Texas.

I am glad to hear miss Lacey is on the mend . Heres hoping the bleeding has stopped for good now.

Aw, glad to hear she's getting better!




Note: I gave up clippers many moons ago. I now use a Dremel:

Most, if not all, vets use Dremels as you rarely "quick" a dog with these and you can get a dog's nail almost twice as short as you'd normally get with clippers.

Thanks guys, Lacey is doing well. I'm still kind of scared of those dremels, maybe because I never used or even saw one other than in pictures. I'm checking them out though. I rarely cut too short, and Layla and Jake are easier to deal with than Lacey.

I'm sorry I just saw this, Annette. I can just imagine how stressful this situation one. Poor Lacey, I would probably have panicked. Glad everything is okay now.

aaaaw glad the baby is better.
I get close to Trey the big labs toes and he starts to bleed, emotionally! you touch his paw when he knows its time to cut and he screams, just when you get close to him. haha. Kaysha just gives me the look and i feel terrible for her. hers are all black and one white one. I just look at the white one and guess where the quick is on the other black ones, haha. Terrible way of guessing i know.
We bought dremel or something close, electric nail file thing and the dogs freak when they see the case. It vibrates them to the bone. If you do decide to get it, if you push the nail out far and hold it at the base seems to do the trick. Or my dogs are huge babys and cry over everything haha!
Well, glad to know again that everything is better. Sorry didnt read sooner!
