Ok so Boston is now 8 months old and weighs about 78 lbs. When he was 5 months, he caught one his nails in a door, which resulted in an infected foot. Which was painful for him, and even more so when we needed to clean it. Since then he has become very difficult when trimming nails, etc...
Well the other day we noticed that one of Boston's paws was bleeding. It was a small cut, but we literally had to wrestle him to clean it. I've been trying to check it but even that is difficult. It seems to be getting worse, and as it does Boston becomes more protective over his foot. My vet recommemded soaking his foot in epsom salts, but how do I do this with a dog who is almost impossible to treat? I've been trying slowly (with a lot of treats) to get him comfortable handling his paws, and for the most part he's great with that. But as soon as anything else is involved, i.e. nail clippers, bandages, etc.... he flips. Both my fiance and I hate having to wrestle him to do this. But we're at a loss as to what to do. Any suggestions?
