Help, Ive Cut My Dogs Nail Too Short And Now My Dog Is Bleeding! What Do I Do Now?
Dont panic. Your dog is in a little pain but the prognosis is good your dog will live! Youve cut into the quick, the blood-filled tissue in your dogs nail. To stop the bleeding take a pinch of styptic powder and press it against the bleeding toenail. Now give your dog lots of treats. The nail should stop bleeding in about 5-10 minutes. Try not to baby your dog too much. You dont want to bring a lot of unnecessary attention to the injured nail. Youll be surprised at how easily your dog will be distracted by the dog treats if youre not making a big deal out of the bleeding toenail. So just stay calm and upbeat and you may be able to finish your dog nail trimming task. If your dog is calm and enjoying the treats it’s best to continue trimming. If you didnt finish with the paw that you were working on you may want to continue on another paw and come back to that one after you have finished the rest. If your dog is too excited you may need to try again at a later time. Dont be discouraged,
