So, I bought a Dremel to trim Java's nails a few weeks ago, and I've tried it out. It does an okay job, but it seems that it takes too long to barely make a difference. When he stands on a flat surface, his back nail is curled under his toe. The problem is, when his nails are trimmed down, he has a problem gripping anything, but if they're too long, I worry it'll cause him foot problems. I'm able to towel him while I file his nails but it does very little to take off the curve, and I don't want to cut too short in fear of harming him and making mobility even more difficult.
The vet charges $35 for four claws, so I've decided to do it myself, but I'm not sure how much is too much. It also doesn't help that his nails are dark.
