Toe nail clipping for uneven, thick, brittle nails. Any suggestions?

Try Vick's Vaporub for toenail fungus- sounds silly but a friend of mine had it and Vick's took care of it.

I had 2 toes with fungus nails, not severe yet. One I left alone. With the other I treated it am and pm with tea-tree oil, then Vick's Vaporub to completely cover it and around it, and finally duct-tape . It worked. Now to do the other one. This method won't work for my aunt's - she's had it way too long.

How long did you do this for, GrannieAnnie?

Interesting about the tea tree oil and Vick's. I did my grandmother's thickened toenails when her podiatrist wasn't around. I used a rotary nail tool. You can buy them online or at local stores. Some are battery powered but I would recommend an electrical plug in type. That allowed me to file down the thickened nail. If you then use the tea tree oil and/or Vick's on the thinned nail, I'd guess it would speed up the treatment process since the nail is more porous and less if it to treat. So maybe do both things: file the nail thickness down and use the anti fungal treatments.

Countrymouse, it may have been 3-4 weeks, but no longer than 5.
