Howdy Ted,
Whichever way it was done (split or cut) if it bleeds you hit the vein. Useing one of the powders is the first thing to do. When you use the powder try to keep the dog from licking it. Then it should heel. We have Blood Stopper made by Anchor Labs. There are others that you can get at most pet supply places. Hope this helps. Tell me how things go.
