Maker Pipe to the rescue! We had an emergency situation with our mini schnauzer. He normally has his nails trimmed every 8 weeks at the vets office, but due to Covid 19, his March visit was cancelled--it was now June and his nails were so long he couldn't walk. He was refused a visit at the vets office due to Covid...they might possibly see him in July. His nails have always been "off-limits" to me in his grooming, and at 13 he was not going to allow a change despite his discomfort.
Putting our heads together we came up with this comfortable (for him and me) sling. It was fashioned with conduit and MP connectors, a towel, a couple dowels, clamps and rope in 20 minutes. He wasn't happy, but he felt secure enough in the sling with his legs hanging beneath through holes cut in the towel to allow me to safely trim his nails...he can now walk. We will be trimming his nails ourselves from now on. We keep a supply of extra conduit and connectors on hand for times like this when you need to take quick action. Thank you, Maker Pipe!
