Good morning all. I feel like such a heel this morning. Last night during nail trimming, while I was doing Fezzik's nails, he squirmed and I accidentally cut too high on the nail and ended up nicking the vein. :( I couldn't believe how much it bled! I remembered from previous FMLs that some people had written that they used cornstarch on the wound to stop the bleeding, so I tried that. It didn't seem to work very well, though. I remember other people wrote in with other suggestions but I couldn't remember what they were. Could someone refresh my memory just in case this ever happens again? I sure hope it doesn't, though...I still feel awful about it. On a semi-related point, since I use the "Ferretone on the belly" trick to keep the fuzzies occupied while I trim their nails...does anyone know why some ferrets tremble while they're enjoying treats? My daughter asked about it last night and I didn't know the answer.
