In response to the posting regarding cutting toenails to the point of
bleeding--when I worked at a vet clinic, my vet said to use cornstarch if
nothing else was available.  I have tried it on my dog and on the fuzzies
with great success and no problems!  Just keep dipping the toe in a
spoonful of cornstarch until the bleeding stops.  Good luck!
