He has HK and his pads grow really quickly and hard and then crack. :( I have to try and keep them soft by soaking them in Propylene glycol daily and cutting and filing them back when they get bad, which is horrible for us both :cry: but is the only thing I can do to help him and stop them cracking and then getting infected which would eventually make him go lame. I posted some pictures of the pieces I cut off to show you about the size and amount that comes off to see if you think a Drimmel might be able to help. Cutting seems to be the best for the small pads but is really impossible on the large (really really cutting blind!) and hence why I have to use a nail file meant for acrylic nails on the large ones (a file for regular nail files just snaps!) but its not as good as cutting and why he seems to have worse cracks on the large pads. :err: :( Which a grass seed recently got in and he was limping and afer removing it took several days of soaking in salt water and a week of putting a lot of neem oil (which he hates the smell of and runs from :( ) several times a day to heal. Posted Image Posted Image I also cut his nails myself and find it hard as they are thicker than normal nails and its impossible to see or feel where the quick is and the nail although thick is sometimes not solid and has layers that peel a bit like an onion! :blink: Any advice appreciated and sorry for the long post, I don't mind buying two machines maybe a more gentle one for his pads and a regular one for his nails, and to be honest don't care if they are a bit expensive as it really does/can effect his health a lot. Thanks. :flower:
