Nail Clipping

[pamela227]

Aww Bunnymommy don't cry! I want to go too but I can't either :?

I get Oreo's nails cut at the vet since she's a lil brat &hates to be held. I have a set of nail clippers that came with thestarter kit when we first got her, but never used them hehe. When she'sat the vet I feel bad cause she gets so scared, her eyes buldge outlike someones choking her & they get wider when she hears the*click* of the clippers, but it's for her own good! But after we comehome & I give her a treat for being a brave bunny, she getsover it

If you dont' have any styptic powder, you can also use regular whiteflour (like the kind you bake with & use on surfaces so thingsdon't stick) to stop bleeding as well

Update: I finally clipped Pepper'snails. I wrapped her like an open ended burrito and pulledher feet out as I needed to clip. She did okay. Ithink I was more scared and nervous than she was. I did findit more of a challenge cutting her nails for 2 reasons:1. she has dark nails, 2 the fur in between her feet got inthe way. Any suggestions on the fur issue? Wellconclusion is that we both survived the experiance. Oh and Ididn't cut them to short=No Blood!

I usally have my daughter hold him in a up rightposition( her 2 hands under his front legs )like he isresting on her chest while she is standing then take his pawand kinda push the fur back and cut them i do this slow then i rub hislil head and praise him then give hima treat so far this has worked forme . I have tried the holding on the back but he twists and turns thatdont work so well for me.
