I read that as “WTF, helpers???” Lol
lol fair.
Marbles (is that her name now? I know you aren’t calling her Maeby anymore really) looks so calm and not slightly crazed like she normally does!
Soooooo cute
She’s made a LOT of progress. I can cut her hair, bathe her, handle her, etc. now.
She’s still very silly though, don’t worry.
I still can’t cut her nails but then again 3 vet techs + gabapentin barely can either.
Have you/ they tried a nail grinder?
Can you brush her teeth?
Yes. I get bit. She does wear a muzzle when at the vet, which helps. We’ve done some light muzzle training at home and hoping to get her comfy enough to let me try again sometime soon. She has some other health stuff going on right now so it’s taken a backseat priority.
Not even a little bit. She had a full dental done last year though & the vet recommended a few specific chews for her dental health. That’s the best we can do at this time. She would injure both me and herself if I tried to brush her teeth.
Same - my dogs were much smaller, but the teeth are still sharp. Girl dog would have bitten me. His Lordship would just keep pulling his head away.
I got the nail grinder after Girl dog has passed away, and His Lordship was way more laid back and compliant - he just didn’t care.
I did try to work up to nail trims by just casually handling their feet, holding a toenail, etc. but mostly it was that His Lordship didn’t give a shit. The nice thing about the grinder is that there’s very little chance of breaching the quick. And you can do a bit at a time.
GO TEAM!
How do you stand it? They’re so fluffy.
Such majestic whiskers!
