Well I took Corky to the vet for the first time to have her secondary part of her vaccines, unfortuantly for this we had to use the same vets as the shelter had used not my own vets. Whilst we were there I asked the vet if he could clip the nails as I had noticed that were quite long.
He was disgusted with me, I received a long lecture how cats use their claws for protection, climbing ect and that she was so young that her claws would splinter, she's 9 monthes.
What I wanted to know is how accurate is this, as from what I've seen on this board nail clipping is a common practice. I already plan to get Corky registered at my own vets asap as I wasn't thrilled with the vets attitude to me and even worse when he got Corky out her carrier he used her collar and scuff to pull her out
and will probably ask my vet for a second opinion
I really hope that it's the vet who may be a bit misguided as after that visit I felt like a horrible pet owner.
