First of all, I cutting him too deep while clipping him toenail. Him yelping. :eek:
Then after pressuring him foot with tissue, he bleeding yet. I holding him leg and lighting match and holding under him tooenail. :dubious:
I cauterizing my dog. It smelling like burnt dog hair. It working. 
Him should bite you on ass and piss all over you bike chain.
If tried that on my cat I did, killing me would she be.
I clip my own townail short too much. Bleed it did. :smack:
Please do not come burning me as if your dog. 
Have you ever tried using a styptic pencil instead of cauterizing? It smells so much better!
Dude - corn starch or even flour will work. Poor doggie!
I suspect I’m being whooshed here, but:
My sensitive soul goes OW OW OW OW BLOODY OWWWWWWW. Geez, the poor dog! Get him/her to a vet, stat!
It’s a reference to an old doper, can’t remember his name, who started a thread in the Pit called I Burning You Dog.
I think he was flaming one of his RL friends, but it rankled of drunkenness/drugginess, and Dopers just kind of adopted the line when feeling a bit psycho.
That was Thai Dog.
I highly recommend the use of a Dremel tool with a sanding head for doggy nail trimming if doggy’s nails are black (and you can’t see the qwick).
My aussie pupper who HATES nailtrimming (like, it takes three people to get the job done - and it’s not for lack of exposure to it as a pup!) puts up with the sanding down without too much protest.
Heh.
Thaidog. What a trip. Here is a sample, the actual thread that spawned the term having been…“archived.”
Freaking brilliant rant. Probably my all-time favorite.
Oooh Wowww! That made my brain hurt. Reading back posts by Thaidog was like… Idunno… a flashback or sumthin’ man. Whoa… the colors.
I’ve actually tried sanding. I have a flat file, but they seem to hate that more than clipping. The grinding feelign really freaks them out. A little rotary power tool would freak him out. Here’s an incomplete list of sounds that scare the hell out of my (at times) ferocious Akita :

Anyway, I clip their nails every month, and I haven’t actually caught the quick for years. But this time I did. And, I don’t have a styptic pencil, but a burning match is essentially the same thing, but with a little more control.
Here’s anothing bleeding-dog helpful hint: if he ever cuts a pad on his foot (which also bleeds like a summabitch), wrap a maxipad around it. Hold it in place with that medical tape stuff that you hold down gauze with.
. . .a little LESS control. . .
Yup, that there is one of my bookmarks, you betcha.
Oh yes, Thai Dog! Can’t believe I forgot his handle. He lives in the same city as I. I once invited him to our annual Oktoberfest gathering, and he replied “I don’t know if you can handle me and my friends. We’re professional partiers.” I told him to quit being so full of himself and get his ass on down here, but he never showed.
But don’t use it for home dentistry. It’s got a warning and everything, see?
Oh, okay, whew. I knew I was being wooshed somewhere.
