I've tried holding him down under a blanket, having someone else hold him firmly, have someone else trim his nails while I hold him, tried grabbing him while hes sleepy or while hes awake and frisky, and nothing works. He claws and bites and thrashes his way away.
He goes for weeks and weeks before we can get them done again, and his nails are getting so long now that he doesn't seem to be able to control them like he should! I just don't know what to do, nothing seems to work. Short of taking him to the vet each time and having them give him a tranquilizer to trim them, I don't see how we can do them without serious scratching or biting being done to us. His back claws are even worse than the front, so just removing them won't work since those are left in. Any suggestions??
