How to trim a dog's nails?
Where to cut your dog's nails? Identify the blood vessels and nerves that run down inside the nail - the quik. On white nails, this is the pink part. Go 1-2 mm beyond this and cut across. Trim any pointy bits. If your dog has some black nails, use the white ones as a guide to where the quik might be on the black ones. Have a haemostop or strichnic stick on hand in case you accidently cut the nail too short and it bleeds. Press these into the bleeding nail to stop bleeding and kill germs.
Another guide: we want the nails to be in line with or shorter than the bottom of each toe. If the quik is too long to cut the nails short enough, you will need to do it in segments. Cut a small amount off the nail every 1-2 weeks. As you trim the nail gradually, the quik will retreat and you can cut it short over time.

Zoe's caesar pup
Zoe needed an emergency caesarean section late Saturday night a few weeks ago as her last pup would not come out despite medical management. Her last pup was big on x-ray. Poor mum!
The scariest thing about delivering dog pups is that the pups come out lifeless. It is very important not to give up on them! You must remove fluids from the mouth, warm them, and intensely invigorate them to stimulate breathing and life. She was also given a drop of dopram on the tongue to stimulate breathing. The happiest moment is when the pup takes its first breath. And from there, seeing it gets stronger and then seeing the mum and pup together bonding. Doting mums are so wonderful to watch.

Sometimes we got to work a bit to get the perfect photo of your little one! ๐ธ Zion was just too excited to sit still for 2 seconds to get a photo taken for his profile but we got there in the end๐

If your pet is exhibiting a particular behaviour, has a lump or skin issue, has a problem in an area that is hard to see, has a problem with the eye, or your pet is very wiggly, try videotaping the issue to show the vet rather than taking a photo. A video can often show the problem more clearly than a single photo. And it can be easier to get the area in focus.
