Hello, Wave I wanted to clip Bobby's nails myself, as the last time I took her to the vet, I got this lady who could not handle her, and said to me: I think she'll be alright Rolling Eyes

Well she's not, her nails are to long, and I am worried she may have poorly feet!

I think I will be okay just want some tips about handling, I tried to wrap her in a towel and she kicked off and tried to bite my face Shocked

It shocked me as she has NEVER tried to bite me before..

We made a vid on this, that may or not help in light of what you said.., but it's here, there's a lot of vids on YT that may help you find a way to do it. I agree with SJ though, sounds as if she needs 2 people.
