Wayne - I'm not sure if someone has suggested this...I haven't quite caught up with the list since my recent vacation...but for nail clipping, sometimes you can put a small glob of nutrical on your fuzzie's tummy, and as he/she happily licks it off, you can go ahead and clip nails or whatever. I've used this method to clean ears, take temps, remove sutures, etc.....good luck! --hillary g. [Posted in FML issue 1292]
