Help Needed= Nail Bleeding

[bridie]

As soon as she sees anything food related, she's into it. I did manage to get some on the foot though and it has stopped bleeding.

I might try and get some Quick Stop for the medicine cabinet, any idea where to buy it?

Thanks everyone!

Don't know if "Quick Stop" is still available unless from Show Vans.??I couldn't get onto it.BUT i did get onto Styptic Powder,probably same stuff!I use it for jew claws,I swear I will never cut a black dogs nail too short ever again,frightened me,it was late but rang vet,they said Condies Crystals or soft soap just hold it on the nail.I had blood and purple condies crystals all over the place& still it was bleeding,I went to my neighbour to help bandage etc.I was panicking........went Google...presto...CORNFLOUR....had to have an immediate answer couldn't wait,I thought she was about to bleed to death.From memory it stopped immediatley I applied half a packet of Cornflour,I just held her nail in it until it was plugged & I could clearly see no blood..... she had a pure white foot!

I purchased Styptic Powder from local pet store,very next day,$21.00 for 30grams,seems expensive but will last for many years

After my experience I wouldn't waste my time with c/crystals or soap,if stuck...... Cornflour,It worked.

Argh I'm the same bridie, the thought of doing her nails is now striking fear into my heart, I have one of those buffer things but she really doesn't like it! I bet she likes it better than a cut quick though

For future reference, finely ground black pepper also works to stop bleeding. (I know, sounds bizarre, but it really does work.) Like cornflour, it is something that can be found in any kitchen. And, no, it doesn't hurt them. Of course, you just want to put it on the bleeding bit, and not dip the whole foot in. LOL.

I have done that before

Stypic Pencil or Condy's crystal on hand now.

I have used soap before, but my stupid dog ate the soap after I used it

That's what my vet recommends - black pepper.

I found it to be better than corn flour

I got the Quick Stop from the show van at Durack.

I have never heard of that, interesting.

Yes but i was told it needs to be finely ground to work efficiently.

[FranVT]

I only have coarsely ground pepper, ie out of the grinder

The cornflour really did work a treat, she was squirming so much that it did end up all over her paw so there's white paw prints throughout the house at the moment

Hi, Just cut the dog's nail too short as she was jumping around too much....how do I stop it bleeding, when will it stop etc?

Drag the nail across a cake of soap. The soap will 'plug' the opening. This is what my Vet does.
