<<I use one of those short, straight-edge, pocket clippers.  The kids
never did like the clippers for dogs and cats; I think they were afraid
because the clippers are so big.>>
 
First time I had to clip Bogies nails I used pocket clippers but the tip
of the nails got broken and she didn't like it, a few days later I walked
into a pet store and found this clippers for birds, I bought them and now
she doesn't even notice when I'm clipping her nails!
 
Yesterday we got a new family member, a 7 mo male albino (Ferret math?
naah :-) ) He spent five months in the store with a sable female (wish we
could have got her too), they both are great looking guys but the store is
in a place away from public view.  He and Bogie became best friends as soon
as they saw each other, any way once we got home he started dooking :-) and
I started washing the kennel :-(, suddenly he decided he was in desperate
need of a bath so he jumped in, it was really fun and he liked it!  after
that it was nail clipping time so I took out the magic clippers and guess
what, it was easy in fact so easy that it took me less than 3 minutes!
 
Next time try using a clipper for birds instead of the pocket clippers, I
guaranty you'll love them.

<<I don't remind him that I had to force feed the first one to him because
he refused to try it.  I tried to force Penny to eat one too, she said no
and refuses to eat them.>>
 
Our new baby (Momo) didn't know anything about raisins, I offered him one
after nail clipping and he refused to taste it so I smashed it and tried
again (instead of force feeding), now he'll do anything to get some more!
 
Dr. Williams:
<<As I am running a few days behind, I would suspect that at the time
that you read this, Bogie has probably passed many normal stools....>>
 
Thank you for your help, indeed she started passing normal stools the
same day, and yes soap was the culprit.
