Help! I was trying to trim my box turtle's hind nail, with nail clippers, I thought I was being very careful, and cut past the "black portion" ie. only the nail portion, but Toby was bleeding, after, there was blood flow to that portion as well? Is there a relevant video, or instructions, on trimming nails? I'm in Alberta, Canada, and it's still cold out, so he can't trim down his nails walking outside, and I am reluctant to take him to the vet, to have his nails trimmed, it's pricey, but that's okay I guess, but he seemed so freaked out last time I took him to the vet, plus with Covid-19, I am self-isolating, just in case, and this is not an emergency scenario. Anyhow, any advise for trimming hind, or front leg nails please? I felt soooo bad when I saw Toby's nail bleeding, soaked his little foot with a touch of peroxide/water, and replaced his soil with a blanket, so there is no infection, but I don't want a repeat scenario next time I try to trim his nails
Thank you for the advice!
Best,
Terri
