Gloria I wish someone would resurrect the posting on tthe lady whose vet inadvertantly removed the front dew claw and all her problems and worse HIS PAIN after. Please just keep them trimmed and forget removing them or if you must do?it wait. Its bad enough he'll be recovering from the fact his testicles have been removed. I am on a mission to find those posts for you. If I do I will send directly to you and you can re-post what you like. Best of luck to him.

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 blessings heather [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: 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?? ? Gloria Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL.com.
