    Nail clipping Empty Nail clipping

    Is there more than one method of clipping nails? I ask, because when I get them done at the vet here, they use clippers and then a nail file. But then Ducki manages to sharpen them back to razors within a week or so. The last time they were done was when Ducki was visiting Auntie Carol, and I don't know what Mark did but Ducki still can't lacerate my delicate skin. Does Mark have a different technique? How's it work?

    Mark uses a dremel and its fast and yes they stay dull much longer. I told Mark he was done before he came here and he said I swear they were sharpened Very Happy

    Ducki sharpens them himself Twisted Evil I'll have to ask the vet if they have a dremmel, because it is really nice not to have long scratch marks all over. Thank Mark for the dremmel job for me? (and I hope Ducki didn't give him too much trouble...)

    He was great. We didn't even have to towel him. Super cuddly for 2 days after though Wink
