Did a bit of googling here's what I found:
http://exoticpets.about.com/cs/rabbits/ht/RabbitNails.htm
Some tips from my own personal experience:
1. Do it yourself at home. I know it's easier to let someone else do it, but don't forget that rabbits easily get stressed and most of them don't like being held. Taking your rabbit outside and driving it to pet store/vet is already stressful enough, let alone being handled by some strangers.
2. If you can't do it yourself, get someone to help you, preferably someone who's also in the same house, as the rabbit may be more familiar w/ that person. Either one of u can hold the rabbit, and the other person do the clipping.
3. If ur saying that ur afraid that u'll cut into the quick (that's the blood vessel), I'm assuming that your rabbit has very dark nails and you can't see the quick. What you can do is, get a tiny little flash light (i'm using this) and shine through the toenails from the bottom up towards you. The light should 透過 the toenails and you should be able to see something pink inside the nail. That is the quick.
I invented #3 myself cuz my rabbit is black and she has dark toenails. People told me that all I can do is just cut a little bit each time I do it... But one day I got greedy and cut too deep and got blood all over my t-shirt and towel.... scared the sh!t outta me. My bunny seemed ok with it tho... 佢仲想走去玩 (但仲流緊血) O_o I was actually more scared than she did. I was so 騰雞 that I called the vet and asked if there are any special measures to deal w/ this. She told me to just do the same thing if a person is bleeding from a small wound. Get a cotton ball or sth and apply pressure onto the wound for a few mins. When the bleeding stops, then it's fine. If it doesn't stop, keep pressing onto it until it stops bleeding... If it STILL bleeds, well, check w/ ur vet. |
