[Gpdd] {EMERGENCY} Piggie Foot Bleeding!

[warmbreath]

Hi I didn't see any answers to your piggies problem, hopefully it has 
resolved itself now. I wouldn't use alcohol as it hurts. Ii would wrap it in 
gauze or make a little gauze pad and press it firmly for as long as the 
piggie will let you get away with it, this should staunch the flow, and the 
flow cleans the wound,  as their blood clots up pretty quickly. If it keeps 
bleeding I would hold an ice cube to it, cold helps bleeding stop. I would 
squirt a bit of Betadyne on it after the bleeding stops.   As for a bandage 
nothing with plastic or cotton, just a bit of gauze as they will chew it off 
and nothing too tight as you might stop the circulation.
I would very gently clean the wound a couple times a day with the Betadyne, 
but don't disturb the scab. If its on the bottom of the foot, less often if 
its on the top, keep the cage spotlessly clean till its healed, Maybe let 
him rest on clean towels

If it doesn't heal right up or if it swells off to vet  And then I would 
quit clipping calluses there is no need whatsoever, They build up to protect 
that spot on the foot, after all they cant wear shoes, and if it is so bad 
you feel it has to be clipped then go to a Vet
