Geez! Add me to the list of avian info anticipators rather disillusioned upon opening this thread with such an enticing title.

Still, false lure notwithstanding, I've found this thread hard to turn away (not unlike freeway accidents or really bad comedy flics).

So here is (are?) my two cents:

Dremels are commonly used by nail technicians in beauty salons for humans. (A rough-edged cylinder is inserted instead of a drill bit; it's like a motorized cylindrical nail file.) No reason they shouldn't also be useful for canines' and felines' claw grinding.

As for shit-eating Dachsies, my brother and his wife used to have a couple of those. The male, Blitzen, was terribly fond of eating the cat's contributions to its litter box.   No idea why. But it could be problematic when the little wiener dog (predictably) decided he wanted to kiss you right on the mouth.
