I am so careful, but got the quick today... First time I've ever done that. He didn't even flinch, but he was bleeding terribly. I got online, saw this site and did the flour in a baggie. I held him and petted him for an hour (he loved it). He is sleeping soundly, the bleeding stopped, and I'm so grateful. Thank you!

I need help for my rescued pug. His previous owner allowed one of his nails to grow to the point of growing right into his underpaw,and I can't afford to take him to the vet right now. It's very sensitive, and I'm sure very painful. He limps when going up or down stairs, and growls when I try to get a closer look. Can I buy one of the scissor like clippers and cut his nail when he's asleep? Then use one of the suggested remedies to stop the blood that I'm guessing will follow? Please, any suggestions you may have will be greatly appreciated. You can email me at: mztracy@msn.com Thanks so much!

You see, at his hind foot, at the left, at the right most "finger"(which in humans is called the thumb), we didn't know that his nail dug itself into the skin. we only knew it when we saw him occasionally licking it. it is like a ring... same thing at the other side but this time it did not grow forward, but DOWNWARD. there were "things" that got stuck underneath and it kept on growing until it pierced him. we couldn't do anything because whenever we touch it, he growls and attempts to bite us(but he doesn't bite, he just presses his teeth against our hands). please help..." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=FLOUR_24614 /Pets/nail_injury.rss7 Sat, 28 Mar 09 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Erin from Seattle, WA, USA writes: "I was dog sitting a friend's dog who had really LONG completely black nails. I thought to be nice I would trim its nails since I know most people are afraid to do this themselves. Well, I made it with no problem until nail number 10...snip...blood! Ugh. I tried leaving the dog outside to clot but it was raining and it wouldn't dry. I tried using a tight bandage, the blood just soaked through the cotton. I tried the chemical powder vets use but I couldn't keep the dog still enough or apply enough powder to do anything! I thought for sure I was going to have to call to ask the dog's owners to see if the dog had a clotting problem. Then I read your posting about using baking soda or flour. Well I went for the flour. I filled a zip top bag and stuffed his paw in it for about 5 minutes...really coated his entire foot. Thank god - it work. Like a charm. And I didnt have to worry if he licked it, its just flour. So thank you for the suggestion. Thank you!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=BAKINGPOWDER_12722 /Pets/nail_injury.rss8 Sat, 26 Apr 08 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Denice from Roulette, PA writes: "We were watching tv and our dog, Dixie was laying quietly with us so we decided to trim her nails and got one too close and she started to bleed. We looked for anything and my husband suggested using the computer and your web site came up. It listed baby powder, baking soda and flour...in my rush to stop the bleeding I grabbed the baking powder put about a teaspoon on my hand and we packed it against the bleeding nail. It worked within 10 minutes and we are still keeping her down at this time. Thank you for your help and your web site. This will be marked as a favorite!

She yelped and I thought that was that. Then I noticed bleeding and found that she lost her whole nail. I put 1/2 cup flour in a baggy and placed her paw in it. I twisted the top of the bag and put a clip to hold it. I held her for about 30 minutes to keep her off her foot. It stopped the bleeding very quickly." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=FLOUR_11867 /Pets/nail_injury.rss10 Sun, 10 Feb 08 00:00:00 -0600 [YEA] Samantha from Holland, Michigan writes: "Hi my dogs nail had been bleeding non stop and i was scard and using the flour to stop the bleeding help us out alot! thanks so much for putting the info out:" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=FLOUR_11868 /Pets/nail_injury.rss11 Sat, 30 Jun 07 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Christina from Charleston, WV writes: "Hi. I have used flour for years to stop bleeding when I cut my pug\'s nails too short. They are very thick and crooked. The vet said this was safe and non-toxic. I just put some flour in my palm and dip his nail in it. It usually stops the bleeding immediately. Flour can be used for other minor wounds on your dogs body too." http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=CORNMEAL_11871 /Pets/nail_injury.rss12 Tue, 29 Aug 06 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Jessica from Nashville, TN writes: "My doctor told me to use this instead of buying the items in the pet store. I was skeptical at first and was freaking out when I couldn\'t figure out exactly how to make it stop bleeding! But I just coated his nail with it and made him lay down for about 10 minutes. He actually went to sleep while I was holding his leg. Its an excellent method and much cheaper!" http://www.earthclinic.com/Redirect.php?pageLink=/Pets/nail_injury.html&name=BLACKPEPPER_11869 /Pets/nail_injury.rss13 Mon, 07 Aug 06 00:00:00 -0500 [YEA] Quinn from Philadelphia, PA writes: "Another way to stop bleeding is with black pepper! It doesn\'t hurt and won\'t injure a pet (or human) if ingested. Small packets from fast food restaurants are great tucked into first aid kits, glove compartments and grooming supplies."
