What to do if the dog's nail cuts into the bloodline and continues to bleed

Recommend using cotton or gauze to apply pressure to stop the bleeding. Since the blood supply to the dog's nails is small, coagulation usually occurs within a few minutes. If the coagulation time is prolonged due to the dog's own reasons, it is recommended to use pet-specific hemostatic powder, then properly bandage it, but keep the wound clean and dry. When trimming the dog's nails, the owner needs to accurately locate the bloodline position before trimming the nails.

As the blood supply to the dog's nails is limited, there is no need to be overly worried even after cutting the bloodline, as the amount of bleeding is usually minimal. In normal cases, applying a cotton ball or gauze pad to the bleeding site for 3 to 5 minutes can usually stop the bleeding. If necessary, hemorrhoid powder can be used. If the dog's coagulation function is not normal, it is recommended to use medications such as hemostatic needles. Keep the wound clean and dry to promote healing.

Firstly, when trimming the dog's nails, always use pet-specific nail clippers. Using human nail clippers can easily injure the dog's nails. Secondly, before trimming the dog's nails, carefully observe the nail structure. Generally, a dog's nail can be divided into two sections, one part is pink, and the other part is grayish-white. There is a line between the pink and grayish-white sections, which is the dog's bloodline. When trimming, do not trim close to the bloodline, it is recommended to leave a certain distance, and trim diagonally downward instead of horizontally to avoid cutting the dog's bloodline. When trimming the dog's nails normally, try to be accurate and quick, and try not to cut the bloodline to avoid causing the dog pain during each nail trim. This will prevent the dog from becoming uncooperative in future nail trims.
