You need to trim your cat’s nails regularly to keep her from causing injury if she accidently scratches you. She could also catch her nails on the carpet or drapes and injure her toes. Start trimming your cat’s nails when your cat is young so it becomes routine. Handle your cat’s feet and toes so she becomes accustomed to your touch. When you are ready to trim the nails, act quickly and efficiently. Press the footpad to extend the nails. Use a clipper made for cats and cut off a little at a time while avoiding the quick. The quick is the nerve and blood supply to the nail and will hurt and bleed if nicked. Cut as many as you can but don’t force your cat beyond her patience. Just stop and try another time and eventually you will get all the nails trimmed. For more information, contact your Garden City, NY veterinarian.

You are readying your home for a sugar glider, and you know that there are a lot of things to consider when doing so. One of the big things to think about is making sure your pet will be able to get enough exercise to stay happy and healthy.

Her enclosure must be large enough for her to move around freely, and she should be able to have some fun in there too. Think about the toys you can offer her, and be sure she will have the space to utilize these. Also, think about her time outside of this enclosure when she is interacting with you. This is when she can really move about unhindered, so it is an absolute necessity for her to have this time each day, and for you to provide her with things to do that will get her exercising. For more information, please contact your local Niagara Falls, ON vet clinic.
