New Kit
Hello, I'm new. :wave: Wanting to hear what other bunny owners think.
We clipped our Chowder (she's a 3 year old Netherland Dwarf) nails last night but she has always hated having them done. I usually hold her tight across my chest and my husband will clip her nails from under my arms.
She has never liked it and last night was moving around a lot so I tucked her head into my elbow and she seemed to keep quite calm and still. But then when I straightened her up, she opened her jaw wide at me like she was yawning and was breathing really quickly.
I spent a couple of hours with her and stroking her until she calmed down but I don't want to keep doing this if she is getting stressed.
I've tried the towel thing, she hates that too. Would the best thing be taking her to the vet?
Thanks so much in advance for your help.
