Hi. Your picture didn't come up. Try resubmitting with pictures if you think it'll help. But I'm guessing from what your saying is Noah's nails are severely overgrown and possibly twisted around under his feet. If that is the case sometimes the least stressful thing is a veterinary visit for sedation to trim the nails since it is likely to be painful and sometimes they are grown into the pads requiring cleaning and antibiotics. Good luck. If this didn't help please resubmit with Picts.
