So.. when ever you hodl her

get a towel and cover her, take the towel off before she gets a heat stroke or when she's too hot. Let her cool off and put the towel back on. Make sure she is calm. Preesss hard.

good web..

Answer 3

use dog nail clippers

it doesnt hurt

if her nails are white and you can see the quick (pink part) cut almost to that part. If you accidently clip to short dont worry it will only bleed a little. They actually make a powder you can dip the bleeding nail in to help it stop bleeding quicker

If the nails are black just trim back a little at a time until the center of the fresh cut starts to looks white

Answer 4

Bring her to the vet so they can show you how to cut her nails.Cut her nails every 6-8weeks Cut only the white spot and about like 3 centimeters away from the red.The red is there blodd vessels it can hurt them.So bring her to the vet so they can show you how to cut her nails.

Answer 5

wear gloves when you pick her up. this will help a bit but also when you go to turn her over to clip her nails if she scratched blow on her nose quite hard this might stop her for a bit and keep doing it when she starts again. Eventually she will get used to it.  Cutting her nails wont hurt her id you only clip the ends of to take off the sharp bit. Hope this helped!!!
