You also need to trim back the hair that comes out from between the pads of his paw. Make sure you are careful not to cut too close to the skin. You don't want to accidentally cut his paw. Repeat on every paw. Once you have trimmed the hair, you need to make sure the nails are cut to a comfortable length. You should use either guillotine dog nail clippers or a dog nail grinder. Gently cut or grind back the nail a little at a time. Once you see a dark area in the middle of the nails, you need to stop. Going below this will cut into the nail quick. The quick of your dog's nail is the living portion of the nail that contain blood vessels and nerves. Cutting the nails too far will cause them to bleed and will hurt immensely. It may also cause infection if not taken care of properly. Once you cut each of his nails, use a file to smooth out any jagged edges. Make sure you use dog clippers. Human clippers are not nearly strong enough to cut dog nails. Once the nails are cut and filed, you should rub some vaseline or paw moisturizer to help hydrate his paws. This also gives his paws a break after the stressful process of having his nails clipped. Repeat this on every paw. This is also a good way of leaving your dog with a good impression of the whole experience. This way, he will start to look forward to the activity and not stress too much about the clippers or grinder while you are working on his nails.

SUMMARY: Trim the hair. Cut the nails. Rub the paws.

INPUT ARTICLE: Article: Most topical treatments only provide symptomatic relief, and do not in fact accelerate the healing process, so keep that in mind. Try the following topical treatments: Docosanol (Abreva) is FDA-approved and available over-the-counter. Topical Acyclovir (Zovirax) and Penciclovir (Denavir) may be prescribed to you by your doctor. These can help decrease the duration of the outbreak, and there are a good variety of them, but you'll need to get a prescription from your doctor. You can either get pills or creams, but the pills tend to work the best and quickest. Try to start the medications as soon as you see signs of a cold sore. Start Acyclovir (Xerese, Zovirax) before cold sores fully flare and take it five times a day for 5 days. Alternatively, you can take Valacyclovir (Valtrex) at the first sign of a cold sore and then 12 hours later. Famciclovir (Famvir) can be given as a single dose of medicine. So can Acyclovir buccal (Sitavig), but you place it on your gums rather than swallowing and it lets out the medicine as it dissolves. An amino acid, which is a building block of protein, it is helpful in treating and preventing cold sores. Lysine can be taken in the form of a pill or applied directly to the skin, and obtained from your health food store. This won't help make your cold sore go away, but it will help you deal with the discomfort that arises from having a cold sore. Just remember: just because it doesn't hurt doesn't mean you can't pass it along to another person. You still need to be careful, as cold sores are very contagious!

SUMMARY: Apply topical cream to combat pain and symptoms. See your doctor for prescription anti-viral pills. Try Lysine. Relieve pain with Ibuprofen or Tylenol.
