I just quicked my dog while cutting his nails, what clots the blood?

Question

I cut my dogs nails and I quicked one of them, does flour or baking soda work to clot the blood?

Answer 1

Flour. Use a big pinch and apply pressure.

If you have a styptic pencil that works to.

You might want to keep some Kwik Stop on hand in case of future incidents.

Answer 2

Get some corn starch and put it on the wound - it will help stop the bleeding. They make stuff called "Qwik-stop" that is specifically for that sort of thing, but corn starch will work in a pinch. Basically what you did was you cut to the quick - the blood supply for the nail. It hurts, and you need to get the bleeding stopped, but it's usually not life-threatening. Have you ever ripped a fingernail back so far that it bled? Basically the same thing. When you trim your dog's nails, you need to be careful to only take off the tips, so you don't go back and cut the quick. But on a dog with black nails, it's sometimes very hard to know how far to cut - even professional groomers and vets still quick dogs on occasion.

Styptic powder is definitely the best with the flour or cornstarch option coming in second. If none of the above works, however, make the dog lay down and roll him over on his back. Raise his paw above his head and press down hard with your finger on the bleeding nail. Hold him in that position (get help if you have it available and need it) until the bleeding stops. This may take a few minutes, so be prepared. By raising the paw above his head, you're restricting the blood flow and making it possible for the nail end to clot.

This looks worse than it is. I used to use styptic powder at the recommendation of my vizsla's breeder, but then I tried it on one of my own cuts--OW! No wonder my dog didn't like it. Now he's retired from the show ring, so I don't have to keep his nails as short any more, but on the rare occasion when I cut too short, I just put him in a crate. He licks his foot for about a half an hour, by which time the bleeding has stopped.

Your main problem will be NEXT time you have to cut your dog's nails--he will remember that it hurt and will be less cooperative, and of course if he wiggles you are more likely to "quick" him. You will need to arm yourself with especially delicious treats, and be very, very careful the next few times.

Answer 6

Steptic pencil works. You can get the powder too. The problem is that cuts on the quick don't clot all that fast. I've not heard of flour or baking soda being a coagulant, but if it works, great.

Saving having something like that, I suggest putting your dog in a kennel or in your back yard. The bleeding will stop, but it will take a whiles.

Answer 7

Flour works good. You can also hold a piece of kleenex over the wound. The fiber cause the blood to clot.

Dog training are excellent and very helpful to build you a stronger relationship with your dog. Read more https://tinyurl.im/DlU6z

After I started training my dog, he became very attached to me and loves to stay by side as long as he can. But just going to them won't help. You have to practice what they teach you outside of the class and you need to keep up with it at least every now and then after the class ends otherwise they'll just go back to previous habits. This course is a really good place to go for dog obedience classes. It get's your dog around other people and dogs to socialize while getting the training you need. As for electric collars, I would say to not get one. In my experience, they're only a negative effect on your dog. I mean of course you're going to need to correct your dog, but being positive and encouraging your dog works a lot faster and easier.

Every dog is different, so unless you have a german shepherd or a really smart dog, it might take a while to train her. You might get frustrated with her, but go easy. She's still a puppy and has a lot of energy. A backyard or somewhere to run will help her get rid of a lot of energy that might cause her to misbehave from boredom.

You should always have at hand in the future since you probably don't have it, a product called Kwik Stop, trust me, I did it to my dog too and panicked, I had the kwik stop and opened the tube put it on, and it automatically stopped, I actually used this on my son as well as he hit his head on the keyboard desk and it kept slow bleeding after two hours, I researched to see if it was safe found others who have used it and I put it on within one minute it was clotted. So Kwik stop for your shopping list. Your going to still panic, as I was nervous my dog kept running around with this bleeding toe. But once I applied the kwik stop it was over and my heart started to beat again. Everyone makes mistakes and your dog will forgive you!

Answer 10

If you don't have any of the powder the clippers came with flour will be fine. Just keep stuffing until it stops bleeding. If it does not stop bleeding after 20 min or so and is pretty bad, take him to the vet.
