I'm in need of advice on how to cut Muffin's claws. For those who don't know Muffin is blind in one eye and a 14lb ish French Lop. He hates being picked up so sitting him so he's half on his back using my legs to help support him (if that makes sense) doesn't work as he lashes out with his back legs so I'm scared of him hurting his back. If I try and pick his paws up whilst he's on a hard surface he bites with his big frenchie teeth so that's not really an option either. He used to be fine having them done until my old vets (who I've now left) cut too short and made him bleed.
