Our Cavalier is terrible with her nails. She absolutely will not let us do them. She lets us hold her foot and touch her nails but the moment we have a clipper in the room and she knows it's there she won't even take treats and hides.
Also if we hold her paw and forcefully tries to do it, she struggles so badly and moves her arm so much that I can't get the clipper around the nail and not quick her.
Even the groomer we went to said she was too nervous and refused to do it because she moves her arm too violently. She doesn't really bite or growl but just squirms and moves her paw away in a jerky twisting motion.
The last time it was done was when she was put under to do her teeth at the vet's, but we haven't been able to do it ever since.
What should we do? Try to call different groomers to see if they can do it?? Or can we take her to the vet's to do it under some kind of anesthetic or mild sedative?
It's growing so long it's almost starting to curl and we just can't do it by ourselves.
