| I would apply pressure gently like with people, slow/stop the bleeding, the the usual stypic powder and neosporin. And relax - deep breath. You didn't do it on purpose and she knows that. It is probably hurting you worse than her! Good luck. |

| Update: Coco still has no idea what happened to her. She's just happy go lucky. She loves the jungle gym that mom got her to say sorry. The snacks were good too..As for the settings and clippers, I use a special clipper made for dogs. I use the smallest clipper setting and have always done a great job grooming her. I always use scissors for the ear hairs. I don't know what I was thinking using those for the ears. But to be honest, I thought those clippers are made to prevent nicks, otherwise people would just use scissors. Those are supposed to be safe to use, so I didn't think there was any danger. If even for a second I thought it would be a danger, I would have never used it on her ears. I just feel so bad. I can't stop crying every time I look at her ear, knowing that I did that. I think it will just take some time to let it sink in. Orinskye: I'm really glad that you have never cut Toby and I hope you never do. But when you do, accidentally, it feels like crap. I didn't cut her because I was careless or I didn't use the right setting, it was a freak accident. I have also groomed her since I've gotten her, and have never cut her once, until yesterday.

| It's amazing because if they specialize these things for animals or kids, they should be safer to use. I mean, why wouldn't they make them nick safe, because children and animals squirm. They are not humans to sit still. I just feel so bad and am usually so cautious and protective. I couldn't bear to look at her all day, so I just kept stuffing her with snacks..haha..Whatever settings you use, just be careful, espcially with areas that could get caught in the blade. Like an ear, or the anal skin. I know I always groom that area so she can poop cleanly but now I think twice. Thank you for the clarification.

| Thanks Megan.I would have considered myself a good groomer, until yesterday. Boy am I glad that day is over. Thanks for all of your support you guys. I couldn't have gotten through today without you all. On top of Coco's ear, my laundry room flooded, and I knocked over some applesauce on the carpet. So I had a really rough day. I'm just glad I have a new day today.
