Hannah4181 260 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 You really need to see the source of the bleed. Get someone to hold him or tether him on a short leash, muzzle if necessary, soak it in a bucket with some hot water and loads of salt. Whilst its in the water, wash it with your hand gently. As you bring it out wrap it in a clean towel and apply pressure for a couple of mins . This should stop the bleeding, and allow you to see what is actually bleeding. If its a nail you may need a trip to the vet, it can be excruciating pain for a dog if the raw quick is exposed or torn. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

allenyeates 3 Posted March 6, 2010 Report Share Posted March 6, 2010 Broken bleeding nail (or one clipped a bit short) or minor foot/pad cut.. pure corn flour will stop the bleeding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
