Dog Nail Clipping- Touchy Dog?
Dog Nail Clipping- Touchy Dog? General Dog Discussions
Our dog is a 15lb 5 year old male rat terrier. He HATES to have his nails clipped. We have to bring him to the vet and the doctor has to completely put him under to clip his nails. When we try to clip them ourselves he will bite and scratch. He's boken a leather muzzle and a nylon muzzle. He gets so extremely stressed when we try to clip his nails, his fur will actually begin falling out. Our vet prescribed medication to calm him, but it doesn't affect him. The price of bringing him to the vet is $55 so we really need help figuring out a new approach to nail clipping. We're always calm when we try to clip and we've tried giving him treats but he gets too worked up.<br />
Please help!!<br />
The weird thing is, he will let us touch his feet all we want as soon as we put the clippers by him he flips!<br />
<br />
We've also tried filing but he gets aggitated by that also<br />
