Control any bleeding with gentle pressure and styptic powder. If there is no bleeding, make sure the nail bed is not exposed. If it is, there is risk of infection and it likely hurts. See your veterinarian for an exam. He or she will dispense medication if indicated. Check the other nails and trim them if necessary.
