New milestone

[KatelynDeanne]

I went to the grocery store to get a few things so I put Lucy in the cage. Once I got home, I wanted to get her back out. Usually, I open her cage door and she climbs out on the top of her door and sticks her foot out for me to come get her. But instead, I reached INSIDE the cage to see if she would bite me or not and she just stepped right up!! I happily pulled her out and showered her with praise! Im very happy and this means she is trusting me more now!

Awesome!!! Many congrats!

So glad she is trusting you more. Makes it all worth while.

 

[KatelynDeanne]

Awesome!!! Many congrats!

Thank you! Im excited!! Now only if she would let me trim her toenails. Its time for that and REALLY dont want to take her to the vet to do it but she will bite me if I try.

I can trim all but Lucy's nails. If I tried clipping hers I'd have to go get stitched up at the ER!!!

I wonder what the vet would charge me just to clip her nails? Our vet is NOT cheap for anything unfortunately.

I pay $20 here in michigan

I will call our vet tommorow and ask them. I already know Lucy hates it and I dont really want her to assosciate me with distress. Lol

Teresa has to hold Tinker in a towel for me to file his nails. Only takes a minute but he is totally pi**ed off when I do it and would bite for sure.
As soon as I'm out of this sling and can drive he's off to the vet for a good trim again.

It takes 3 techs at the vet to trim my Lucy's nails. They tried it with only 2 but the young guy nearly lost his thumb. I felt terrible for him!

Yeah I agree. I hope your feeling better by the way!! I am too scared to do Lucys nails. Lol

Yeah it took 2 for us and Lucy bit the vet and he was bleeding. She screams really loud.

$39 to trim all that is necessary. For Gigi it's just the nails, but the vet spends lots of time with her and kind of gives her a mini physical too. I think it's great to have her looked over every 3 months.

For this our vet is reasonable (in Ontario). I think it would be worth looking into as you would hate to do any damage. Our guy didn't even really need his done, I guess I have the proper perches in his cage that keep them trimmed naturally.

Yeah Lucy has a sanded perch but her nails seem to grow pretty fast. Within 3 months they can be razor sharp. The day I brought her home a little over 4 months ago her nails were so sharp they cut my skin. I dont wanna trim her nails really, I would rather the vet do it to be safe.
