OMG I feel sooooo horrible. Last night I was going to take a little off Bruin's nails. The first nail I cut the quick, Oh the blood!! I have never seen so much blood. I didn't have any styptic powder and I forgot all about corn starch! I was trying to put pressure on it and it just didn't work....finally I wrapped it with paper towels, wrapped gauze around it nice and tight and it finally stopped. So I took it off (I didn't want him chewing it when I went to bed) and I had a feeling that it was going to start again so I stuck around and sure enough it started again, so I wrapped the paw again and stayed with him putting additional pressure on it for 45 min. Finally it stopped, unwrapped and still stayed downstairs to check on him for awhile more. This morning after he went out it started to bleed just a tiny bit and that's when I remembered to grab the corn starch and it helped. I feel so horrible!!!! I don't think I can cut his nails again.
