puppies nails to short

Question
i clipped my puppies nail too short and she started bleeding. what should i do?what will happen?

Answer
Whenever you cut a dog's nail too short, you can stop the bleeding with either corn starch or flour.  If they will sit still long enough, you can even just apply pressure with a cotton ball or rag until the bleeding stops, but that can take longer.  The nail will be fine, it will just be sore. (Think of yourself when you have broken a nail past the quick).  It happens to everyone.  I trim nails every day, and I still occasionally will quick a dog when they have black nails.
