I cut Hunter's nails and one keeps bleeding HELP!!

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

Let me start by saying I HATE cutting Hunter's nails.  I am always afraid I am going to cut them to short so normally I leave them longer.  This morning I was cutting one of her back nails and just when I went to cut she moved - normally she sits totally still - and I cut it to short and it started to bleed.  I have never cut them to short before to see them bleed!  This was early this morning, I put this Quick Blood Stopped on it and it seemed ok.  Now she just came in from outside and its bleeding again :-(  Is this normal?  It seems like a lot of bleeding!  I feel sooooooooo bad.  It doesn't seem to be bothering her at all - just me!  Any advise? 

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

That is PERFECT!!!!  Come on Jane!!!!!!

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

Okay, guys I did it.  In fairness to poor Adina (who is probably shaking her head right now), we just need to wait and see if she's comfortable.  I think it could be lots of fun though.  I'm thinking of the possibilities right now.  In the description I combined a "wine" and a "whine" connotation.  We'll see.....

[Jane, Guinness and Murphy]

This is totally perfect.  Karen, where do you even come up with this stuff....LOL!

[Sharon & Monty]

ok, i'm in for the wine drinking doodle moms! LOL  I'm sure it will be ok Denise.  Monty jumped once while cutting his nails, he hates that procedure.  I only tip his nails these days after a incident.  I'll let the groomer do them again next week. hang in there.

and yes, red is very good!  chocolate chaser, i like it!  i call it my cholesterol fighter!  And as an old Marine Colonel used to say......."it's always 5:00 somewhere!"

I am all in for the wine drinking DK'ers...in fact, that is what I am doing right now.  I also am WAY TO CHICKEN to cut Rua's nails.

I wish I could help with a suggestion, Denise.  I am too chicken to try to cut my dogs nails so I have the vet do it.  I hope Hunter's toe has stopped bleeding.  You are definitely NOT a terrible doodle mom, you're a wonderful doodle mom!!

[Karen, Jasper and Jackdoodle]

I'm with you, Ann. I have never cut my dogs' nails myself, although at least with JD, I could see the quicks if I absolutely had to do it. All of the others had jet black nails.

I'm with you on Denise being a wonderful doodle mom, too.

[Lucy & AnnaBelle's Mom]

Lucy has those black nails.  It's terrible!

[Denise & Hunter!!!]

AAww thanks girls that makes me feel better :-)  Hunter's bleeding has stopped for the moment but she is going to be going outside again soon :-(  I hope it doesn't bleed again.  Her nails are light and easy to see the quick but she was sitting up and decided to laydown right when I started to cut and it totally moved her nail :-(

[Jane, Rooney & Stuart]

I have the clippers, dh used to do it to our labs but with Rooney - it is the groomer's job.

Following on Karen's post, you may need to apply pressure for up to 5 minutes because nails tend to bleed for a while
