[Gpdd] Emergency: Piggy Foot bleeding

[Algernon07 at aol.com]

I'm sure that you'll have dealt with the problem by the time you get this but 
a septic pencil or powder or cornstarch (which I use -- I pour a palm full 
and hold the little foot in it to stop the bleeding   (while I feel like some 
kind of monster) but what I clean it with is peroxide. Doesn't sting nearly as 
much as alcohol and I think has better results. If it only bled   little bit, 
your piggy is lucky! It was after I had injured a piggy toe that I began 
covering the litter in their cages with some kind of cloth. I now use baby receiving 
blankets -- they work great. The idea though was to keep the bedding from 
irritating the foot.

I'm sure all is well with you and your piggy by now. I'm almost phobic about 
cutting my piggies toenails and some nights do only one foot per night.
