Need help with ingrown toenail

Kowgirl @Kowgirl (3490) • United States 20 Nov 07

I'm looking for some advice on treating an ingrown toenail. Is there some way to prevent them? What is the best way to take care of them? I hear that diabetics get them a lot, is this true?

Ok I know this is not a parenting question or anything. But I figured where better to start this conversation than the parenting section. I was wondering if anyone had any quick dessert recipes that they would want to share.

Is it good to argue with children or better to give in at times?

serenidity @serenidity (641) • India 12 Nov 07

I know, the logical view would be, it is never good to give in to a child's demands or tantrums but my question is a bit different. I sometimes feel that unnecessary argument makes a child more and more stubborn. It is fine till a...

Can cat and dog live together?

Elishka @Elishka (18) • Czech Republic 3 Nov 07

Are cats and dogs friends or enemies only? We had cat and dog but they hated each other. However I have seen lots of pictures of cats and dogs together as friends. What do you think?

thisnurserocks I have two full grown cats and I also have leather furniture and although you can trim their nails instead of declawing I ended up having to get my cat front claws removed to keep them from scratching. Its just something that cats do.
