My dog jumped off the couch. I think when she landed she broke her nail off or split her pad. It’s bleeding a little. I tried a warm wash cloth but she didn’t like it. Anything else I should do?

Is it still bleeding?  If it’s the nail push corn starch into the nail.  If it’s the pad then apply pressure with a dry washcloth or paper towel.  She isn’t going to like it but it needs to be done.  I would take her to the vet tomorrow.

Good Luck
