Better But With Side Effects

ok so same thing, decided to do my dogs nails and got too close. I freaked so looked this up which the 1st thing I tried was baking soda, no good it must have stung or something b/c she went nuts squirming and started bleeding twice as bad but then I did flour and elevated her foot above her heart and in no time she was good the next morning but neosporin on the tip THANKS for this web site

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! Thanks again!
