I am such a bad mommy!!
First I lost the nail clippers. Kosmo has a grooming appt next weekend but for some reason I am some kind of weird freak ( icon_whistling ) and I have the notion that I take care of my baby the best. .. .. ..
So today I was cleaning and I found the nail clippers.. Poor Kosmo.. I took him downstairs and I cut all the hair inside of his paw (which he was very very good for!) and then continued to clip his nails..
First things first - I have a heck of a time cutting his dewclaws.. I've had pretty good luck so far but I leave them with a bit of white on them so I don't get too close.. Is there a special kind of clippers to cut those with?? They are so akward to get at - the clippers barely fit because I have to move it over so that it's straight up and if I don't get it correctly then the nail can fall sideways.. grr..
So anyways I cut all of Kosmo's first feet which he slept through.. ( :roll: ) and then came time for the back feet. For some reason he hates it when people touch his back feet (another reaosn I wanted to make sure his nails were nice and trim before the groomers.) So I get through the first back foot and then 4 claws on the second and the very last claw I accidently cut a little tiny bit too short!! :yikes :yikes :yikes I felt sooooo bad.. Thank God it was just a touch too short it just bled for about 10 seconds just a little bit..
What do you use to stop the bleeding if it's accidently cut more than just a touch too short? Do most of you trim your doggie's nails or do you trust other people to do it more? The reason I'd rather do it myself is bcause once I was @ training @ pet smart and the groomers were talking to us about how important it was to groom the dogs and someone asked what happens if you cut the nails too short and she's like "oh it's not a big deal, it happens all the time!" :yikes :yikes :yikes
I know how bad it hurts if I bite ( bad habit) my nails too short I don't want his nails to be too short, I felt AWFUL!! Thank God like I said it just was a tiny tiny bit too short and bled for all of 10 seconds.. I still feel awful like a bad mom though and as soon as I said "good boy" and let go he took off like a rocket to his crate.. :? I guess he knows I can't touch him there.. :roll:
