Cut Quick - YorkieTalk.com Forums

I cut her quick and don't have the stuff to keep her from bleeding. I left it at my parents and forgot I left it. If I remembered then I would have never cut her nails. She barely bled, but my question is can I wash her paw tonight before bed or will that make her bleed again? Also, is there any home products I can use if I continue to cut her nails or should I stop? I hate leaving part of her nails not cut because that is probably real uncomfortable. Ooooo....if only should would stay still. It would've never happened in the first place.

Flour works and so does a bar of soap. Press the bleeding nail into the bar and it will plug it up.

i wouldn't worry about her foot bleeding again tonight if you wash her foot. she should be fine.

I always get the quick when I clip Gracie's nails. Thanks for the posts about home remedies. I keep a large styptic pencil with the clippers and just wet it and press the nail against it for a bit. It stops and never re-bleeds. I have given up doing my own trims. The groomer does them every 6-8 weeks, or for $5 will do them in between. She never clips the quick.
