A quick way to help stop bleeding from a torn nail is to take some regular flour (whatever type you have on hand) and apply it. Such as put about a teaspoon full in the palm of your hand and stick the claw into it. Flour works just about as well as the "Quick-stop" the professionals use.

Bleeding dog (sm)
We just had the same thing happen to our Beagle 2 months ago. The little nail on his back claw was ripped out by the root when he was jumping down off the kitchen counter. There was blood everywhere! We rushed him to the vet, and the vet cleaned the area with peroxide and wrapped it with gauze and then Kling wrap. He gave our dog a shot of antibiotics and then oral antibiotics for the next 10 days. We had to keep him in an E-collar to prevent him from chewing it and bring him back for dressing changes. After he finished the antibiotics and had a couple of dressing changes, we kept a small sweat sock over his paw to keep the area clean. You can probably clean it and dress it yourself. Just keep an eye on it to make sure it doesn't get infected. You might want to put some antibiotic ointment over the area before putting the dressing on. Good luck!
Vaginal bleeding
I thought I was going through the "change" for 2 years. I had heavy bleeding, huge blood clots. I had to be transfused several times when my hemoglobin got under 9, and I could not walk 10 steps without gasping for air. Well, I finally went to the GYN who did a biopsy (she thought it was menopause also). The biopsy did not hurt at all and was over in a flash. Well. I had uterine cancer. I was scheduled for surgery ASAP. They did a TAH-BSO, omentectomy, and took out my lymph nodes, and anything else that usually take out. I was told it was at its early stages and was given a very minimal chance of it becoming anything else. That all happened 2 years ago this coming June. I took 2 weeks off work and then had to come back, as that is all the PTO I had. It took me a while longer to get back to normal, as my hemoglobin got down to below 7, and it took months to get my regular strength back. Be sure not to wait long to take care of ANYTHING. I could have saved myself 2 years of grief. Hope all will be well for you.
Except bleeding again this week- sm
after I bled all last week, tapered off/stopped over the weekend, and started up again with a vengence today, woke up to a mess this morning. No sex since all this started either. So, no clue what normal perimenopausal symptoms are, but if this is what this is it sucks. Got horribly nauseous and dizzy on Friday as well, don't think I am bleeding heavy enough for anemia but who knows, felt fine since then though.
Bud's hub hid his & ended up bleeding to death from

bleeding dog: tore off toenail, what to do?
there was a lot of blood, i applied pressure to get it to stop. she managed to tear off the entire little toenail on her back foot. i then applied peroxide and tried bandaging it, but she won't leave the bandage on. i don't feel this is a huge medical emergency, but i'm new to this dog business. also, i hate to admit this, but i cannot afford a trip to the emergency vet (could put it on credit if truly necessary). don't know what else to do --- anyone?
I had bleeding for the first four months of my first pregnancy...
and I had a test that said I was not pregnant, so I thought something was seriously wrong with me. My symptoms with the first and the second were nausea and exhaustion, but the exhaustion came well before the nausea. I knew I was pregnant with my second son when I couldn't make it through the day without a nap! Good luck to you and I hope you are!
Most vaginal bleeding is NOT d/t cancer.
Often it's related to hormonal changes associated with menopause, thyroid problems or even obesity.
It's not unusual for a woman in her 40s to develop irregular or prolonged periods, but you need to be aware of blood loss over time. When my mother was a few years older than you she had an episode of vaginal bleeding between periods that lasted for a couple of weeks. At some point she started feeling weak and asked me to take her to the ER, which I did. She had an emergent D&C and was sent home with iron pills, and that was that. She never had another period and had completed menopause lol.
Cervical cancer is highly treatable and even in invasive stages doesn't necessarily require hysterectomy or chemo. I've had 2 friends with invasive cervical carcinoma; both had only conization procedures and both are well years after the fact.
You're doing what you're supposed to do by following up with your doctor, but until then try to keep things in perspective and not worry!
Astilbe, bleeding heart and columbine
are a few more.
Remember that some hostas are huge - 2 or 3 of the big size will soon be all your tub could hold, so look for the little ones. When shade gardening, I always like to choose some bright greens or plenty of varigation, and there are plenty of hostas like that. Japanese ferns are colorful, also.
Have fun. I know I'd overload a tub. I have no self-control with plants.
