I was clipping his nails tonight and I cut 2 too short.When he squeaked, I knew what I had done. Fortunately, I have a steptic pencil in the bathroom cabinet so I immediately applied it. It took a while for the bleeding to stop. I gave him lots of fruit and cheese yogurt drops. I hope he forgives me.
I feel SOOOO bad! Anyone have any advice as to how I trim his nails without hurting him??

Im sure the extra treats made it up for him!
Ive been told to file the nails down with a nail file or use baby scissors or to even put a brick in their cage under the water bottle so they can wear it down whilst drinking.

Filing sounds like a good idea if he'll stay still. I'm sure he forgave you after all the extra lovin'.

No ideas for preventing it as I don't have the experience. BUT, if you DO clip one too short, you can also stick the paw in a small bowl of flour to stop the bleeding!
And WHY did you have to cut TWO? After I snip one too short, I usually stop on the dogs and cats; figure I am too tired or whatever!

He's just so wiggly. I'm going to try and find a brick to put in his tank. I would imagine that filing would be just as difficult as clipping because he is to active.

i was wondering the same thing. how did you manage to cut two nails too short? did you cut 2 at once or made the 2nd mistake after the other nail stopped bleeding?
