You need to NOT cut the nail so much that you hit the quick which causes the bleeding. If your dog has black nails you are better off taking it to the groomer or vet for nail trims if you cannot do it without it bleeding. You can use a styptic stick, or just walk the dog in some dirt which will clog up the nail and stop the bleeding.

Q.: My dog ripped his toenail and it is bleeding -- help.
A.: Most dog owners have been through this scenario at some point. You notice some blood, dog licking at a paw, limping, or yelping...then find that ghastly torn nail. Ouch. The bleeding is usually stopped by the time the dog is seen at the vet's office, but the nail must still be attended to.

Every dog is different -- you know your dog best, but remember that when injured, a dog will instinctively try to protect himself. This means that your dog may reflexively bite or snarl at you, not really "meaning" to. If there is any doubt, it is wise to use a muzzle.

First thing is to remove any of the broken part of nail that may still be attached. This broken end only causes the dog more pain and may increase or continue the bleeding every time the torn piece is disturbed. The quickest way to do this is with a dog toenail clipper. Sometimes the piece is barely hanging on and they can be pulled off (quickly) with your hand.

Secondly, the injured nail needs to be gently washed off. Warm water to remove any debris lodged between the nail and the toe or leg.

If there is active bleeding, apply gentle but firm pressure with a clean cloth to the area. A firm grasp around the entire foot works best if the dog will allow it.

Often this type of injury leaves a bloody "stump" of bone that would normally be safe inside the toenail housing. This is very tender and sensitive. It is advisable to have your vet take a look at this type of injury. If a large amount of toenail has been removed, most vets will bandage the area and prescribe a short course of antibiotics as prophylaxis against infection. I favor using an antibiotic ointment (with frequent bandage changes) on the stump for lubrication and reduced friction and pain.

Q: Oh no! I cut my dog's toenail too short. What can I do?
A: It is a good idea to have shaving alum or styptic pencils at home for general first aid -- when a nail is accidentally cut too short, you have the necessary tools on hand to stop bleeding. Alum and styptic pencils can be purchased over the counter at drug stores in the first aid supply area.

If you don't have alum or a styptic pencil, you can use flour or corn starch to help stop bleeding. Pack a small amount in the cut nail end and apply pressure. Holding ice on the cut surface (if the dog will allow) will also help stop bleeding.

Answer 4

You wrote this question 37 minutes in the past. If she continues to be bleeding this is a large deal. be conscious a snuggly taped gauze and verify it in quarter-hour or sit down together with her and be conscious tension promptly with a gauze for 5 min. If after attempting the two of those measures and it continues to be bleeding take her back have been she became groomed. they could desire to have a substance (can not remember the call) which you will nicely be conscious and it will supply up bleeding without delay. I decrease my own canines nails and have been doing it for years with a canines clipper and have by no ability had one bleed like that. there is not any reason to decrease them that short. Plus you could consistently leave them somewhat long and document them additionally. the main purpose is to maintain them from scratching and likewise preclude indoor canines nails from getting see you later they start inflicting the feet to grow to be deformed.

Answer 5

I just got a piece of toilet paper wet and put pressure on the tip of the nail and it stopped but it depends how serious. his just had a drop of blood that kept coming till i put pressure on. Hopefully that helps

Answer 6

I use a antibacterial soap (cake) and rub it over the dew claws thats been clipped. If its from road pavement from running , then i wash with bacterial soap that I purchased from my vet and keep dog inside or contained in a clean area

Answer 7

A elizabethan coller (one of those big funnel ones) and wrap its paw up in a bandage. If you just wrap it up, your dog will try to take the bandage off causing more trama to the wound.

Answer 8

flour, toothpaste, and a special powder for nail bleeding you can buy at pet stores.

Answer 9

you can try the following, flour ( if that doesn't work the first time you might have to add water), press it against a tea bag, or run it deeply throught a bar of soap,

Answer 10

first I would slap the person who cut into the quick as it is very very painful, then I would apply some wound powder, flour or a sytptic pencil to it.
