        Our local shelter does a monthly event where you can get your pet’s nails trimmed, flea/tick prevention and microchipped for pretty cheap. (Nails:$5, Flea/tick prevention: $10, Microchipping: $10)

        They say Dogs, Cats and Bunnies are welcome. They have it at a local (big) hardware store, so I don’t know if I would want to risk bringing Moxie there if they just had a table set up and wanted to trim Moxie’s nails next to all those dogs. What if she escaped? What if a dog escaped? (Even though Flea meds are $25 for me so that would be great if they had what I need, and Moxie’s nails are black so I HATE trimming them, I’d much rather keep her safe). Keep in mind I have NEVER been to their thing so I don’t know how it’ll be set up/if they’ll be doing it privately in a room or something. Anyways, I wanted to know you guys’ opinions. Getting Moxie’s nails done/flea treated at the vets (including gas and office visit) is around $60, so it’s be awesome if $15 were a possibility. I think I’m going to call them to find out more info, although I’d imagine the shelter would want to keep things 100% safe. 

        Thanks in Advance!

          I noticed that a shelter does that in our state, except the microchipping. They ask for donations and gave about the same prices as you did as a suggested donation. They do hair trims too. I wish they were closer honestly. It’s about a 2 hour drive, so I wouldn’t want to stress her out. I just want to see someone do it that is more confident and knowledgeable than myself. All that toe hair and black nails makes me way to leary of doing it myself, without at least getting some in person instruction.

          As you can see Willow could use a little hair cut.

            I would def call or send them an e-mail to find out the set-up. Can’t hurt.

            OMG, Willows bangs!!! I wish my horse would grow a thick forelock like that!

              Even though I volunteer at the rescue I’m always afraid I will pass something on to my bunnies at home. Rescues have their bunnies checked but somethings probably aren’t routinely checked and it is those that i worry about. I wear a completely different pair of boots and take them off outside after reading about that EC being contracted through urine.

              I take mine to the vets for a trim. Maybe I’m just overly paranoid though.

                @ Bunluv: I experienced EC with my bunnies. One of my males got it first, but I didn’t notice he was dragging his (already lame) rear leg, untill he was dragging his good rear leg. Next thing I knew, his pal was dragging a leg. They were both treated with panacur which freaked me out, because it can cause loss of white blood cells. It was a scary experience. I cleaned out their enclosure, and kept ALL my animals away from it for at least 2 months, including their outdoor run. I even kept an emergency stack of panacur tablets for the cat abd dogs – just incase they caught it.

                  I’m getting the feeling (from others opinions and my own) that it may not be the best to go. Who knows the health of the other bunnies/animals being brought in? I think I’ll just ask if I could purchase a flea/tick treatment from them without bringing Moxie in, and continue doing her nails myself. =]
