Trimming the Claw too Close in Scottish Fold Cats

If you’re trimming your Scottish Fold’s claws on your own you will need to be prepared for the possibility of cutting too low and hitting the quick of the nail. Talk to your vet to find out ways to avoid trimming the claws too close. You should also ask your vet what to do if you do cut too much and hit the quick of the nail. The quick of a cat’s claws is where a blood vein runs and if cut it could bleed a little or a lot. The first thing to do if this happens is to remain calm. Your Scottish Fold will be in pain and you will need to move quickly to stop the bleeding and relieve the pain. Immediately compress the wound and apply styptic powder or a mixture of corn starch and baking soda to stop the bleeding. Call, or make a visit to your veterinary clinic Marietta, GA if the bleeding doesn’t stop. Learn more  at : http://smyrnaveterinary.com/
