Styptic powder is a small grooming first-aid item for a minor nail-quick nick, not a substitute for veterinary assessment. Use only as the label directs, keep it external, avoid eyes, mouth and deep wounds, and seek veterinary advice for bleeding that does not stop promptly, a torn nail, a puncture, marked pain or illness. These choices are powders or clearly labelled near-miss gels so a buyer can select the applicator format rather than mistaking one for the other.
