>>> TIME NOW FOR ANOTHER
ADDITION OF FOR CITY PETS.
DR. HARRIS IS WITH US AGAIN AND
DR. MIKE WE CALL HER ALWAYS
BRINGS MONTH JOE WHO GETS TO BE
THE GUINEA PIG DOG.
I ASKED DR. MIKE IF SHE TOOK
REQUESTS AND SHE SAID SHE DID.
SO THIS WHOLE SEGMENT IS
SOMETHING I WANTED TO DO.
>> YEAH, EVERYBODY OUT THERE,
LISTEN, EDEN ASKED FOR THIS.
SHE WANTED TO KNOW HOW TO TRIM
NAILS AND HOW TO CLEAN EARS.
I WANTED YOU TO KNOW, IF
MISSOUR
MO JOE
SENDS EDEN FLYING, SHE ASKE
REQUESTED
IT.
IT'S AN IMPORTANT THING.
EVERYBODY WANTS TO TRIM THE
NAILS MAYBE I TRIM THEM TOO
SHORT MAYBE I'M GOING TO HURT
THE DOG.
THEY HAVE A BLOOD VESSEL AND A
NERVE INSIDE OF THE CLAW.
WE HAVE A GRAPHIC UP THERE.
SO YOU CAN KIND OF SEE WHAT I
ALWAYS LOOK FOR, EDEN IS I LOOK
WHERE THE NAIL TAPERS WHERE IT
GETS NARROW AND THE ANKLE KIND
OF CHANGES A TURNS A CORNER AND
STARTS POINTING MORE DOWN.
AS LONG AS YOU CUT THEM AT 45
DEGREE ANGLE YOU'RE GOING TO BE
FINE.
THE TRICK TRICK IS TAKE A LITTLE
BIT OFF OF AT A TIME.
DON'T TRY TO TAKE A BIG HUNK ALL
AT ONCE.
IF YOU WANT TO GRAB THE
TRIMMERS, I'M JUST GOING TO SHOW
YOU.
>> OH MY.
OKAY.
>> THESE ARE OUR FAVORITE
TRIMMERS THEY HAVE THAT GO UP
AND DOWN LIKE A GUILLOTINE.
THESE ARE THICKER.
THE EASIEST THING TO DO WITH A
BIG DOG LIKE MO, HAVE HIM SIT
DOWN AND USE A HELPER.
ARE YOU GOING TO DO THIS?
YOU CAN DO IT.
>> I'M LOOKING -- AND THERE IS
WHITE, OKAY, JUST TAKE A LITTLE
PIECE OF THE WHITE OFF.
>> YOU SAID 45 DEGREES THIS ONE.
>> YOU GOT IT.
>> LOOK HE'S GIVING YOU KISSES.
HE'S SO HAPPY, HE DOESN'T MIND.
PERFECT.
: SOMETIMES YOU MIGHT
CUT TOO SHORT.
I HAVE A COUPLE OF REMEDIES FOR
YOU.
GRAB THOSE THINGS DOWN THERE.
THESE YOU CAN GET FROM A
PHARMACY OR PET SUPPLY HOUSE.
THIS IS POWDER, WECAL THAT QUICK
STOP.
>> FOR THE BLEEDING.
>> FOR THE BLEEDING, IF YOU HIT
ONE AND IT BLEEDS, A COUPLE, 10
MEKDZ OR SO.
IF YOU GET CAUGHT WITHOUT ANY OF
THIS, THE OTHER HOME RECOMMENDED
DEE, FLOUR.
SO YOU TAKE SOME FLOUR, PACK IT
INTO THE NAIL AND HOLD THE
PRESSURE.
THAT BLEEDING WILL STOP.
WITHOUT THOSE, YOU'RE GOING TO
HAVE A MESS.
>> GOOD LUCK HAVING THEM COME
BACK FOR IF NEXT PEDICURE.
HERE'S THE DEAL.
LOTS OF TREATS WE'LL DO HIM A
LITTLE BIT AND THEN THE EARS.
>> WHEN YOU GET A PEDICURE, YOU
GET A TREAT.
>> ALL RIGHT.
EARS, HOW OFTEN WILL YOU BE
DOING THE EARS.
>> MOST DOGS SHOULD ALWAYS DO
THE EARS IF THEY SWIM OR GET WET
OR GIVE THEM A PAT
BATH.
OTHERWISE, EVERY COUPLE OF
WEEKS.
WE HAVE PLENTY OF COMMERCIAL EAR
CLEANERS.
MY FAVORITE THINGS TO WIPE THE
EARS ARE 3 BY 3 GAUZE PADS OR
COTTON BALLS.
I'M NOT A FAN OF Q-TIPS.
YOU'RE NOT GOING TO CREATE A
HUGE PROBLEM BUT MIGHT POKE THE
DOG IN THE EAR, THAT MIGHT HURT
HE'S NOT GOING TO LIKE THAT.
VERY SIMPLE WITH THIS, WE DON'T
WANT YOU TO TAKE A SHOWER IN EAR
CLEANER.
>> HE'LL SHAKE HIS HEAD.
>> FLUID IN BOTH EARS, SWISH IT
AROUND REAL GOOD, TAKE YOUR
Q-TIPS OR GAUZE, WIPE IT OUT.
IF THE DOG SEEMS PAINFUL, REDS
ARE WET, BAD ODOR, GETTING BLOOD
OR A LOT OF DEBRIS.
THAT MEANS THEY MIGHT HAVE AN
EAR INFECTION AND GET THEM TO
THE VET AND GET IT CHECKED.
>> OKAY.
>> NURSE QUESTIONS ABOUT THE
NAILS.
BUT AWE OFTEN FOR THOSE.
IT DEPENDS A LOT ON THEIR
LIFE-STYLE.
DOGS WITH CONCRETE, DON'T NEAT
IT THAT OFTEN.
I DO MO JOE'S ONCE A MONTH.
>> IT'S SPA DAY AT "RIVER CITY
LIVE."

GLORIA.
>> HI GLORIA.
