Your hair and fingernails do not have nerves, so you can cut or clip them without pain. If you clip your nails back too far, there are nerves in the flesh underneath the nails that can cause pain. The top layers of the epidermis can take shallow cuts and scratches with little to no pain. This layer is very thin. It is what peels off when you get a sunburn.
It depends on what you did to it but if you are unsure on what you did/what happened then you probably have an infected toe, it's not a big thing and usually happens when you cut your toenails too short. Just wash the toe in warm water with salt and maybe coat it with disinfectant so it doesn't get too infected, hope this helps :)
Regularly trimming and filing the infected nail reduces the amount of infection and can help eliminate the spreading of infection. A process called debriding (usually done by a podiatrist) involves filing down any part of the nail thickened by infection. Because, if treated properly, the infection should grow out with the nail, this maintenance will help you to get rid of your toenail fungus faster, and reduce the nasty appearance of the infection.
It may cause toe numbness but sometimes it causes leg, arm, hand, and numbness too. If you feel numbness or weakness in the leg/s tell a doctor, these may be signs of a Stroke.
Connective tissue cannot be too hard because it needs to allow movement. If connective tissue was really hard, you would not be able to move your skin with such ease.
Well water can damage nails, and if you grow your nails too long, the blood line will expand and it will make it hard to cut them....
No. You will have to take your guinea-pig to the vet every once in a while to get their nails cut by an expert.
It is not the legs that are clicking but the toe nails of the dog. They are probably too long and need clipping.
It's important to remember that the nails on a dog have nerve endings if you cut too much off, just like how it would be painful if you cut too much of your own nails off.
only emo idiots clip their toes, most people cip their toe nails because the nail was too long.

if you use nail scissors you can cut them, but follow the shape of the nails because you don't want to cut it too short! or you could use a nailfile, to shape them.
yes you do. they are contagious too. they will crawl out of your butt onto the sheet crawl down the hall and into your parents bed. they make your butt itch real bad so you have to use your nails to scratch. so when you bit your nails your nails are infected with butt worms. so the moral of the story is to never ever bit your nails. if you must bite your nails bite your toe nails only.
Normally having nails too long does not make a dog limp. You need to take your dog to see your Veterinarian to have him or her checked out. There may be something very wrong going on and only your Vet can tell. Also have your Vet show you how to properly clip your dog's nails.
close to the quick (the vein) but not too close. Cutting the quick happens occasionaly and is ok just painful and it will bleed. You can tell where the quick is easily with white nails (its red) but black nails are a bit harder. If you do cut the quick its fine, it happens!
yes The nerves are in the "quick" part of the nail, just like our fingernails and toenails. It can be seen as the pink area closest to the toe on clear or white nails, but not on black or brown ones. Pet supply stores have a brand of clipper that detects the quick so it is not cut while clipping the nails, which really hurts the dog and causes bleeding.
You hold it tight and clip them carefully. If you cut the nail too far in it will hurt her. Clip the end of the nail.
