Our Lola has a problem. Her claws on her back feet, at the exterior of her paws don't wear off, and she won't let us clip them AT ALL. As soon as she sees the nail clipper she runs and hides. It's as if she's got a 6th sense sometimes.
We talked it over with the vet, who already clipped them twice while she was put asleep specially for that. The vet said that putting her to sleep every 2 months just to clip her nails is no sollution. Today those 2 nails are that bad that they curl up and grow into her toes. The vet said that it would be better to remove them alltogether.
I trust my vet and I know she's right. Moreover, Basset Hounds are one of the 4 only races in Belgium where such an operation is allowed. But still... I don't know.....It's a simple but bloody operation with quite a bit of aftercare and a heavy risk of infection.
Anyone gont through something like this?
