If your ferret rips out a nail, stop the bleeding with a styptic pencil (or cornstarch) and contact your veterinarian. To avoid such problems, keep your ferrets nail trimmed as their nails do tend split and catch on cloths.
Put a bandage on it to stop the bleeding. Take your dog to the vet if it is major
Why is the dogs nail bleeding? If its alot of bleeding go to the vet ASAP. If you trimmed the nails and cut the quik that why you are getting the bleeding, do you have one of those syptic pencils men use for shaving cuts? you could apply that, or file some of it off to make a powder and dip the nail in that. Old fashioned remedy is to dip nail in flour. If the nail has been ripped badly you need to go to the vet. No pet can lose alot of blood, so please call your vet.
It should be trimmed once a week but for a dog once a month.
The free edge of the nail needs to be trimmed the most often.
In small quantities, styptic powder is not toxic to dogs. It is commonly used to prevent bleeding when a dog's nail is trimmed too short. Check with your vet if your pet consumes more than the amount used to treat a small injury, particularly if the animal weighs under 20 pounds or has stomach ulcers. Styptic powder does include sulfur, so keep it out of the reach of children.
you should get him to a vet, dogs have veins and nerves in their nails and it's possible one of these has been cut. i wouldn't suggest removing the nail yourself

If its down to the "quick" (bleeding) trimming any sharp pieces of nail off and a daily antiseptic wash will do the trick. Try to limit walking on hard surfaces for a few days.
They do. Long nails can make it difficult and uncomfortable for your dog to walk. And if left long enough, some will curl over and grow into your pet's pads, which will require surgery to correct. It's recommended that you clip your dog's nails about every month or so.
