I need some advice on nail cutting, specifically for Sir Squirmalot, Lloyd, about how to try and minimise his distress during the process.
Trimming Harry's nails is a little tricky, but on the whole he just sits there and let's me get on with it.
Lloyd, on the other hand, will squirm, squeal and wheel like a maniac. He also has black nails, so it's difficult to make the cuts I do manage because I'm worried about making him bleed.
I've tried rewarding him with food, but he gets so hyper during the process that he largely ignores it.
Any help would be gratefully received.
