I'm a bad Mom.I cut Tub's toe nails tonight and cut one too short :( I have tried cornstarch,flour,a bar of soap,quick stop and pressure.It stops for awhile and then starts to bleed again.What should I do next?????
-
Holding ice on the cut surface (if the dog will allow) will also help stop bleeding
Your not a bad mom I manage to give a bleeder everytime we do nails ::)

ok.. you may think i am crazy but... do you have any cayenne pepper, ground cayenne.. it stops bleeding, and it does NOT burn.. anytime ive had a cut or anyone in my house we put cayenne on it and it stops the bleeding... you'd think it would really hurt but it doesnt at all..
-
If the ice does not work, I would put more quik stop (alot of it) and then wrap the foot for an hour.
Sure do not miss these days thank goodness for dremels!

Not crazy! ::) Cayenne has excellent, very effective, healing properties. I've used it before for sore throats and have heard of its use for tummy ulcers. Now that I know it can be used on the surface, I'm going to try a bit on Duke's belly rash. Something's got to clear that mess up!
Thank you all for the toe nail clipping advice - in advance. ;D I was considering giving Duke a manicure.....o r is that a pedicure....he re in the near future.

OH That is a nasty problem. Grace got her nail cut too short once and bled for 6 hours. the vet said to get some powdered "Styptic Powder" from the men's shaving isle. that's clots the blood.

Flour isn't the best according to my vet. i used it too...backing soda and cornstartch. she said flour will actually not stop the bleeding and cornstartch was their choice until i could get some styptic powder
