Claw Trimming

sbshortie Jan 16, 2004 04:48 PM

Hey Guys-

For those of you that have been here for a while you know I had a little accident and one of Bam Bams toes got crushed. The nail grew back but it is a little bit funny...it is thicker than the other claws and it curves under as it gets longer. Today I saw that it sometimes catches one of his back claws....Can I trim this with regular nail clippers or do I have to buy the animal kind?

Thanks!
Becca

They are so super thin, you can use a small pair of manicure scissors, the kind you use, just the tip though, after the curve part, know what I mean?
