Claw won't stop bleeding!

[Char-x]

My male Hoover is a nightmare trying to get his claws clipped, and I mean a nightmare he's bitten and drawn blood on my face because of it before, and I've just tried it and I accidently took off more of the claw than I should have and it bled quite alot, and it has not stopped for about 10 minutes I would say.

What can I do to stop it or what should I look for, any advice on it really!?!?

Have you dipped it in anything?

I was told by an emergency vet (I did the same thing) that baking soda does the same thing.

& Oh my god Char! I'd have been completely freaking out! Forget traumatizing the piggie, I think you may need therapy after this! :P
