Scrappy's Little Helper
Mama Doe
For the first time ever this evening I did a bunny nail clipping!
When I had Scrappy and Peanut Butter I never had to do that as we were at the vet so often that I used to get the vet to do them while we were there. *Touch wood" with Snoopy and Fudgie I haven't had to go so often so I haven't had the opportunity to sneak in a manicure.
I was going to take them and get a vet nurse to do it but I thought it would be less stressful for them to do it myself at home. I've just done Fudgie's. It was a bit tricky, mainly because my hand was shaking so much as I was so worried about catching the quick Luckily her claws are white so it was a lot easier to see. She wriggled about a lot so I restrained her in a towel and popped the paws out, which she kept snatching away! Also think I might need to get different clippers. I found with the ones I got I had to stretch my hand really wide to open them which made them harder to manoeuvre.
Anyway much to my relief they're done now and we've had no accidents. She is really annoyed with me at the moment, unsurprisingly! Snoopy will be much more of a challenge as his nails are black. Plus I'm pretty sure he will kick me in the face a lot! He always manages to get a good boot in when I put him in the carrier to go to the vets :lol:
