Did you burn them off with a burning iron? When i was dehorning my kids i was told that when the buds fall off they do bleed, but to not put anything on it..
It was also my first time dehorning them and we waited a little too long to do the bucks and ended up burning too deep on his right horn. Must of burned into his nasal canal because there was a lot of buggery/smelly discharge coming from it. Luckily though with some probiotics we managed to keep the infection at bay until it healed. He's much better now but now i'm worried that the burning didn't take?
Here are the kids I dehorned, Thoughts? I'll try and get better pictures of the buck today(Buck is the mostly brown one)
To add to the stress unfortunately Charlotte had a very difficult labor. We had no vets that could come down and help us out. We tried pretty much everything we could to get the piglets out, We even tried giving her oxytocin to increase the contractions. But I only managed to pull out 4 piglets (all breeched, one dead) I think she was in labor for a total of 26 hours before we finally put her down 
On a more happier note the 3 remaining piglets (All boys) Are doing amazing and thriving, their names are Charlie (After his mom Charlotte) Red, and Pumba
) from good milking lines, She also just kidded and had a little doe so actually i'm picking up two more does on Sunday, That'll up my herd to 12 plus however many kids Honey has 
I'm going outside right now to check on how she's doing and get some pens clean.
