Sometimes you make a mistake when cutting your dogs nails and you cut the quick. It starts to bleed and you don’t know what to do. Here is a couple of steps that might help.
- Cover the the bleeding nail area with a napkin or soft cloth to stop the blood from getting everywhere.
- Mix a little bit of flour or corn starch.
- Remove the napkin then dip your dog’s toe into the flour or corn starch.
- Hold it for a few seconds.
- Take it out. The bleeding should stop.
- Carefully wipe off the flour or corn starch surrounding the nail in about 10 to 15 minutes.
- Make sure you use lukewarm water to wash off any remaining flour or corn starch. Cold water will make it sting.
Of course if your dog is like mine he will probably go so where and lick it until it starts bleeding again so you will have to do the above steps over again and might have to wrap his or her foot so she can not lick it for a while.
