I can't believe I did it!! :smilie_tischkante: :sorry: I cut Shoni's pad with the scissors while trimming the hair! It is his hind foot, one toe pad. It is between 1/8 and 1/4" long with a small piece clipped out. Open about 1/16" and bleeds like H**L. I put PolySporin and a bandage on it. I tried taking the bandage off after 30 min. but it started bleeding a lot again. It is bandaged with gauze pad and that stretchy yellow stuff the vets use now. I gave him 1/4 baby aspirin and he seems O.K.--will walk on it.
What I don't know is will it need a stitch? If Dr. Jaimie is around I could sure use a suggestion. Shoni is doing fine, although I'm probably going to need something to keep him from pulling the bandage off. I have a hard plastic type head collar but I hate those.
I'm just sick of course!! :crying:My poor sweet Shoni!!
