do you think if you kept his toe nails on his dewclaws clipped down really
short they'd still snag on stuff? I dont think i'd have an adults dewclaws
removed because it is a little more painful, unless having the dewclaw was
causing pain.. like getting caught up in stuff and causing injuries to that
toe. all my chis have dew claws, but theyre the kind that are close into their
legs, i've seen some that seem to dangle more... anyone know what i mean?
thats just my personal opinion obviously... i guess we can be glad theyre not
great pyranese, they have 2 dewclaws on each foot! lol

Thanks, Mel. As I mentioned in a previous post, Cesar goes in
Monday to be neutered, so, I thought I would ask about having his dew claws
removed. For some reason Cesar's dew claws were never removed and he has one
on each of his front and hind legs. Recently, I noticed that they sometimes
get caught up in his blanket, so I though maybe it would be wise to have them
removed. I only talked to the vet tech but she said it is much more involved
than just clipping, that it is surgery, like removing a toe, painful, with loss
of blood. She said she would mention it to the vet but that her suggestion was
to leave them alone. Comments?
