Junior Guinea Pig
This summer I have started to tame my very wriggly pig who would never even let me pick him up before. I have taken him to the vet every few months for nail clipping, but the last time was fairly stressful as the nurse cut the quick. His nails are pretty long and they tend to grow curled over, so I want to cut them more often to stop them getting like that. So last week on Wednesday a friend came over and she held him while I cut the tips off. However, I have a pre-arranged vets appointment for tomorrow for him to have them clipped. This will be 6 days since I cut the tips off myself. Is this enough time for the quick to shrink back so they can be cut again? I just don't want to put him through another stressful vet visit where he is likely to bleed if this would be too soon. Can anyone advise? Is once a week too often to clip them?
