My guinea pig Timtam has spurs growing on her feet. I was cutting one off, all good. I cut the other off, and as I am doing it she pulls back her leg and tears the skin. She is bleeding but not much. I put her with some towels for a floor and hideys in the laundry sink with some food. I am scared she is very stressed and the stress will kill her. Here are some pics of her spurs.

The darker foot is the bleeding one. How do I treat it? And how do I reduce stress?
 
While I can't see your pictures, I will say that it's highly unlikely that small stress will harm her unless she has a pre-existing condition. Maybe give her a sweet treat (my sister gives out tiny apple slices as especial treats to hers.) and give her a bit of time to calm down.

She is now in an esky in my room with a towel over it and a tiny bit of apple, lettuce and tomato. :hugs
