Try cutting only one nail. Immediately reinforce her with some food or a
treat. The other idea is to cut a few while she is napping. I always reward
my boys after I trim their nails so they associate it with something nice.

All the advice I have seen so far looks excellent, & I concur with
every detail too, especially the treat program after each nail/claw
done.

When all else fails, you *could* always revert to the Old towel
method, by wrapping her up securely, so that she can't hurt herself,
or you either.. but that would be a "last resort method".

You could take her to the vet surgery & allow them to do it of course.
But, I realise that the cost of doing so, might be a factor along the
line here. but do consider it as well!

Good luck with doing her nails/ claws. It would be interesting to the
rest of us to know what did work for you both in the end, if you don't
mind re-posting that it? In the future, we can recommend what your
methods is, to others that ask the same question. Thanks in advance,
