The vet tried holding her down- it took 5 people and we only got one nail done, and when we got home she went and hid for a week and wouldn't eat or anything, we tried sneaking up on her today and just getting like one nail a day or something but we couldn't even position it right before she tried to bite us; I guess there's nothing we can really do except take the chance with anesteisa once and then keep them worn down by walking her on concrete or something; we're getting quite desperate because she's in so much pain she can't even walk. Just a little while ago she got one hung and tore it completely off. Yeah, she did have a bad expirience with it when she was about a year old. His mom told me that she took her to the vet to have it done and she came back with most of her toenails quicked. They did a terrible job and she didn't even squirm but now she won't let anyone get close to her feet. I just don't know what to do.
It seems like we've tried everything. I don't think a groomer could do it either without muzzling her and that could also put her at risk not being able to breathe as well; maybe if we have people she knows come help us and we just do it slowly with a blanket over her head. We're at the point right now where we really don't care if she bites us. I guess we'll just keep trying different ideas. Any ideas you have will be greatly appreciated.
