How about a stubborn shiba who hates his paws touched?

I’d recommend asking your veterinarian to prescribe a good calming medication/sedative that you can pick up to give at home, and then I’d be happy to try. No sense in going into something without chemical assistance if we know he already hates it. I have a weakness for Shibas even though I haven’t worked with a single one that hasn’t screamed like a parrot for nail trims 😂

He has a anxiety prescription for these cases! We typically go to the vet to get his nails done and they give him a sedative shot along with the oral medication we give him beforehand. He really hates going to the vet though so I didn’t know if an in home session would be easier for him/us, ya know minus the sedative shot.

Yeah, if he’s needed injectable sedation in the past I can’t guarantee anything, but I’m more than happy to give things a try - feel free to message me!
