¿Qué hacer si usted Sobrecorte uñas de su gato

Cortar las uñas de un gato no es una tarea fácil. Mantener a un gato luchando aún mientras tratando de conseguir los clippers alrededor de la uña derecha y asegurarse de no quitar demasiado es un reto para decir lo menos. Inevitablemente, a veces ocurren accidentes.
Si corta la rapidez de un clavo de gato no será feliz. El rápido contiene vasos sanguíneos altamente sensibles y terminaciones nerviosas, similar a la parte rosada de una uña humana. Sangrado, dolor - y posiblemente un rasguño para usted - resultará de recortar accidentalmente el clavo demasiado lejos.
Trate de mantener un control de su gato si interfiere con el rápido. Apriete la punta de la garra para reducir el flujo de sangre, teniendo cuidado de no aplicar presión a la pata entera que tendrá el efecto contrario y aumentar el flujo sanguíneo.
Es aconsejable mantener el polvo estíptico o un lápiz estíptico en su kit de aseo, ya que esto puede usarse para contraer rápidamente los vasos sanguíneos de una herida abierta. Si usted no tiene acceso a productos estéril, frotar el clavo con maicena o sobre una barra seca de jabón también puede ayudar.
Si bien es doloroso, un clavo superpuesto no es una lesión grave y debe curarse con relativa rapidez. Sin embargo, las sospechas de su gato sobre el proceso de cortar las uñas probablemente durarán más. Puede tomar tiempo y esfuerzo convencerlos de que es poco probable que sufren más dolor cuando ven que viene hacia ellos con los clippers.
Para tranquilizarlos, recomendamos masajear regularmente las patas de su gato cuando están relajadas y darles una golosina para crear asociaciones positivas antes de intentar otra sesión de recorte de nuevo.

I was scuffing my cat while my best friend, who is in the animal care business, clipped his nails. I'm not afraid to do it on my own and usually just sneak a couple clips in while he is calm or relaxed, but figured I would accept the helping hand while I could. Everything was going smoothly as usual but she ended up clipping into the quick while on the 3rd nail. She was pretty nonchalant about it, but once I saw my cat's blood I was instantly guilt stricken, heart broken, you name it.
My friend kept telling me that my cat would be okay and it happens. However, I can't let go of the fact that my baby trusted me unconditionally and I've told him over and over I would never put him in a situation where he could get hurt but I did and he was hurt because of my decisions. Now I feel like I've betrayed his trust and vow to be the one to clip his nails, with the utmost caution, from her on out.
As long as you clip the sharp point on the tip, that's all that's really necessary.
She was bleeding and yelped when I did it but isn’t limping and ran around afterwards quite happy. Had a clean of the paw and she’s snuggly and loving now. Might leave it to the vet now...
My cat "Sinmin" had to be euthanized shortly after because of some kind of poisoning.
I cannot find out what the consequences are when the wick is cut completely off... Does anyone know?
Gracias.
I am the one who originall posted that my cat's vet cut off my cats claws when he went in to have his teeth cleaned. They were Licen not authorize to cut his claws. He was an indoor/outdoor cat. He loved being outdoors mostly. There was no claw left,,, wick and all was gone. The name of the vet facility is Bay State Animal Clinic in Danvers MA. I made them change their authorization form to add that they will only perform what is authorized by the owner. I filed a complaint with the Division Professsional Licensure Board. Have not heard anything back yet. The owner of Bay State, Dana MacName ruined the last days of my cat's life! I had to go outside with him because he he no claws and could not defend himself. Dana told me I should have marked on the cat carrier that it was an outdoor cat... WHAT, really!... The nerve ... trying to make it look like it was my fault! Anyway they pretty much declawed my cat! Dam them. Also the owner would not give me name of the vet tech who declawed my cat. I just felt so bad for my cat, Sinmin.
I’m going through all the emotions right now! I immediately started apologizing and giving her kisses and giving her so many treats in hopes that she felt the guilt that I had for what I’d done. She seemed to understand that I felt remorse and immediately started butting her head at my hand. I put the cornstarch on her nail and needless to say she seems to be doing just fine while I’m still trying to cope lol.
I’ve been clipping kitty claws for years now, but it’s a very different experience from my older cat to my three new kittens. I clipped them all today (their claws get wicked sharp) and while the girls did protest everything was fine…but then there’s the boy. He squirms a LOT, and I’m usually hunched over in order to restrain him and also to be able to see what I’m doing (they’re almost 6 months old but still so teeny). I have to be super fast at clipping before he squirms again, and this time I cut too short on two of his back foot claws. I didn’t notice at first, and thought he was just being extra stubborn when he cried. Then I saw some blood on the towel…yeah not a fun experience. I then looked up this article and pinched the tip between two fingers with a tissue (it’s not bleeding that bad, and the other one just had a tiny dot of red so not as bad).
I felt so bad, I gave him several treats afterward (was going to be just one but then his sister knocked over the bag and it became a free-for-all), and he seems to be walking just fine. I’ll probably feel really bad about it for a while though. Glad to know I’m not alone, at least!
