You're clipping the toenails of your dog or cat and blood starts to spurt. Why did this happen and what should you do?
Canine and feline toenails should be clipped just to the endpoint of the blood supply, known as the quot;quick.quot; It is clearly visible in clear nails, but there's some guesswork involved when trimming black nails.
quot;Bleeding from a toenail can be easily controlled and is no cause for alarm,quot; according to a very handy book sent to my office as a review copy. quot;Apply direct pressure to the nail for 5 to 10 minutes. Then apply commercially available clotting powder, flour or toothpaste to the exposed end of the nail.quot;
This advice comes from Chris C. Pinney, a veterinarian with a practice in Houston, Texas. He's the author of eight books, including this one: quot;The Complete Home Veterinary Guide.quot;
