The vein that courses through the guinea pigs paw, is not a main artery in the body, so it will not bleed out. However if you do happen to cut it, it will bleed.
The best thing to do is to clean it with a cotton bud/wool ball, and leave it to heal(:

Is it bad for guinea pigs to be close to a cat?
Well... this is a tough question because it really depends on the cat and guinea pigs personality. Personally I keep my cat as far away from my guinea pigs as possible because I don't trust my cat. If there is no way your cat could get into their cage or stick its paw in the side it would be okay.... But no I don't think that I would put your cat near them. I know of some people that have cats and guinea pigs which are best friends but No you shouldn't.

How do you cut guinea pigs hair?
You have to either tip them upside down or just lift their paw so you can see the bottom of their paw, then you have to look really closely for their veins in their nails. Take any type of clipper, although toe nail clippers work best, and cut their nail about a pencil tip distance away from vein or else you will make the guinea pig bleed.

Does the guinea pig and cat fight?
While most of our cats accept the guinea pigs we keep at home and generally ignore them, one of them can be a little aggressive. It depends on the cat, but as a general rule, I would HIGHLY recommend that you don't keep them together. A cat is much larger than a guinea pig and can easily kill it with a bite or a swat of their paw or a scratch. Guinea pigs are prey animals and cats are hunters. Bad combination. Keep them separated please!

Is a short hair guinea pig better than a long hair guinea pig?
It all depends on if you like brushing your guinea pig a lot. You see, long hair guinea pigs are harder to groom and their hair gets full of dust and bedding and gets kind of nasty. But, short hair guinea pigs have more trouble keeping themselves warm. So it depends on if you are a brusher or a cuddler. If you are both, then I suggest getting a long hair and a short hair to share a cage together.

How do you clip your jack russles nails?
When clipping nails, there are two easy guidelines. 1. take off the hook- the nail is wide starting at the foot, then it starts to curve and get more narrow. in the wide part is the quick or the blood vein. So to avoid cutting that, just cut off the hook. 2. use the paw pad as a reference. Cut off anything that goes past the paw pad. Now usually this works, but for nails that are really long, the vein may have moved past this spot. You may also be able to cut off more then this, however, it is a good guideline. If you cut too much, don't panic. While you are cutting them, have some flour and water nearby. Wet a q-tip and put it in the flour and then on the dog's nail. Hold it there for a couple seconds.
