I was cutting chico's nails and he moved and I cut his quick it has stopped bleeding but he won't stop liking it I was wondering what you suggest to stop the liking bc I don't think it is important enough to go to the vet.

You are correct that Chico doesn't need to see a vet for this. You should put an Ecollar on him to stop the licking. You can buy one at the pet store, or you can make on yourself: http://dogsaholic.com/care/homemade-dog-cone.html
