Elise+Hudson Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Potassium permanganate or what is more commonly known as "Condy's crystals" Works like a charm but does stain things purple if your not careful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShesaLikeableBiBear Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Never a Vet or vet nurse but as a retired groomer used to use Styptic powder/pencils, and as an alternative Cornstarch. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WreckitWhippet Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Probably Quik Stop powder. I use potato flour, Condy's or corn flour. Whatever I can put my hands on first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Everythings Shiny Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Use Condy's when i cut a quick on one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clyde Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I scrape the nail in soap or dab it in any sort of flour - both work well but the flour is probably less messy, as once dried, it just blows off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bedazzledx2 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Condy's here too. Brilliant stuff. It'll turn white fur brown so you have to be careful how you apply it. I wet a cotton wool bud and dip in the Condy's and then just hold it to the nail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

karly101 Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 Just keep a bar of soap handy dampen it, drag nail across it - stops it very quick! In the clinic we use Quickstop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
becks Posted May 23, 2011 Share Posted May 23, 2011 I've found a bar of soap the best. Quick stop seems to go off before I need to use it. Condys is nigh on impossible to get hold of here (last bit was donated from my vet!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Linda K Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 cornstarch or soap here - works when you cut the cats claws too short Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KOE Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Any sort of flour, plain old homebrand does well, Flour is also great for deep wounds that wont stop bleeding until you can get to a vet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
