Ans: There is no reason to panic if the quick of the nails are cut by mistake. While there will be discomfort and bleeding, the bleeding will stop after some time. The use of styptic powder is recommended to stem the flow of blood. The powder will induce clots to stop the bleeding. Pets are instinctive and are likely to lick wounds, it is therefore necessary to prevent the pet from licking, till the bleeding has stopped.
