If Larry has been injured or is actively bleeding from the scissors it is best to seek veterinary care ASAP. If you can't get to the vet immediately, styptic powder or corn starch can be applied to the wound to help stop the bleeding until you can seek care. Your vet can examine the wound, and can prescribe treatment such as wound care or antibiotics to help it heal up correctly.
