Nail Clipping Incident!

[PiggyThistle]

Hi there,

I'm really worried about one of my piggies & I'm to blame!

I cut their nails today (first time I've had to do it myself!) and I must've caught the quick of Pickles nail, it's been about an hour and it's still bleeding! It's not gushing with blood but there's spots of blood on the kitchen floor. She doesn't seem too bothered and has come over for a munch on a green bean.

I feel terrible! Should I take her to the vet?

I've done this before and I feel the guilt.
There's no need to take her to a vet, you can dab a bit of cornflour on her nail to stop the bleeding and she'll be fab
