westhamunited Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 Just realised one of our new bantams has got rather long claws/nails. Do these need clipping and if yes is it alright if we do it or does it need to be done by a vet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted July 29, 2008 Share Posted July 29, 2008 If you let her walk on rough ground, they should wear away naturally. A blood vessel goes quite far down the centre of the nail, and if you accidentally nick it, you can be faced with a torrential bleed. Best to let the vet do it.
