Clipped Saki's Claw Too Close To The Quick

[Sam&Saki]

Hey all,

I clip Saki's claws myself regularly and tonight I somehow managed to clip one too close to the quick and make her bleed

We washed her paw, put antiseptic on it and she seems completely unconcerned, in no pain, she's not limping or anything, but it's still bleeding a little

Is there anything I should do, or should I just leave her to clean it up herself? She's alternately running around and wanting to play, then lying down and licking the blood up, rinse, repeat.

(It's only like 5 min later, I guess it'll stop bleeding on its own?)

Bar soap, press her claw into it, it should stop the bleeding

Otherwise it should be fine.

Have you got any corn flour? Dip the toe in a bit of that and it will quickly stop the bleeding

ETA - if you don't have corn flour - normal stuff will do

Thanks guys, I think I was a tad paranoid - she seem completely fine now and it seems to have stopped bleeding.

Thank god, I was so freaked out I'd injured her!!!

Hehe I did the same thing to Ivy once and freaked out!

Glad Saki is fine now

Stypic powder You can buy this in pen/block form in the shaving section of most stores too. I've used one one of the pens in desperation a few months back and it worked beautifully.
