Bleeding Nail

[Pearl and Zip]

I was clipping Zip’s nails and she suddenly started struggling. I accidentally cut into her paw! I used styptic powder and gauze to stop the bleeding. I also gave her some strawberry as an apology. She is now resting in her pigloo.

I’m letting her take it easy, so I’m not making her exercise or do tricks for veggies like I usually do at floortime. Is there anything else I can do for her?

No, the styptic pencil and some gentle pressure should do it... just watch over the next few days to make sure there's no further bleeding or signs of infection. If it helps, I've done this a few times and my pigs have always done just fine, besides being unhappy with me!
