Hi! Bridget in BAMA here.
I'm not sure, you'll want to check with your vet or
others that have discussed this with their vet but...
There are strong ligaments and tendons that connect
those claws and according to what I've been told it would be no less painful
than actually removing a TOE!! Check it out, have it x-rayed or
whatever. That's just what our vet told us.
I have also heard horror stories from my vet about
how they've been snagged and all but ripped off...not too pretty I'd
imagine. Either way, leave 'em. If God wants them off He'll handle
it. After all, He's the one that put them there, right? No sense in
knocking the pup out and causing unnecessary pain.
I hope each of you will be having a safe and happy
weekend. Ours will be very full. Our local VFW is having our annual
Buddy Poppy drive and again I'm chairman so we'll be collecting donations for
our areas veterans in need. Wish me well. I've enjoyed working
this program because all the money we raise stays in our own
community. YEAH!!
Y'all take care,
Bridget in BAMA
