General FYI, corn starch or flour is good to stop the bleeding. If that doesn't work, as a last resort use super glue.

It was awful. But the last time he broke one, I also had the vet double check what looked like an allergy bump to me -- that's when they diagnosed the cancer. And, since we caught it so soon, and he's doing well, I am forever grateful for that broken nail.Alliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16603700427096296937noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-31907861342075573342008-12-13T01:18:00.000-06:002008-12-13T01:18:00.000-06:00The nails are my nightmare!

The other dog yelps like he is dying every time we come close to him with the clippers, so he has to be done professionally. Basically he is a brat.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14990012511583198015noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-58587886251726061822008-12-12T09:24:00.000-06:002008-12-12T09:24:00.000-06:00I feel your pain.

The losing tech actually grimaced when I asked her how to cut my chocolate lab's. She told me to just go throw tennis balls for them on concrete. I bribe my lab with peanut butter and treats, and it works for me.Kesi Brookehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15268455184446094858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-34309895505875777362008-12-12T08:02:00.000-06:002008-12-12T08:02:00.000-06:00Mawhahahahahahaha.

She would buck and squirm and yelp. We finally took her to the vet's office and it instead of forcing her on her belly they laid her on her side and stood behind her and she was fine with it. The Vet said that position seems to work with dog's that don't like their nails cut.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6482086120454663232.post-14093613437931389252008-12-12T06:30:00.000-06:002008-12-12T06:30:00.000-06:00Mystery dog ailments are the most stressful thing ...Mystery dog ailments are the most stressful thing ever for pet parents.
