The idea is to put enough on the outside so it will clot and stop bleeding. I wouldn't try to fill the hole with flour. Whole wheat should be fine.
 
I have whole wheat flour, not white flower. Think that would work? Also arrowroot powder instead of corn starch. It's a pretty deep hole. It won't hurt her to have this stuff in her body will it?


Wheat flour should work fine...
Here is a quick reference page to check out for alternatives...
 
Thank you guys. I just went in and checked it. As soon as I removed the bandage, it started ppuring out blood again. I had my son put a pinch or 2 of arrowroot powder on it for me while I held the bandage back and then immediately covered it again. She's resting in a carrier in the bathroom right now, in the dark to keep her calm. I'll check it again in an hour or so. I never expected her to bleed like this. The hole in the bottom of her foot was easily twice as big, deeper, and didn't bleed anywhere near this much :/

I had Ariel back in surgery today. The bumble foot on the bottom of her foot is healing wonderfully but she had another lump, along the side of her toe. I left it go when I did surgery before because I thought it was just swelling. Well, I dug it out today since it was obviously a hard lump now. This core that came out was big too but it's not white like the other one was. This one was more grey-ish.I'm wondering if it was a cyst? Anyway, what a horrible place to have one! I swear, there must be an artery there. She will not stop bleeding! I held pressure on it, tried squeezing around her ankle as a pressure point. I finally just bandaged it thick and tight and added a cotton ball for extra pressure. I have her laying on my lap with her foot held up in the air, above heart level. Any advice on how to encourage the blood to clot? I really need to get some stiptic powder. ..
old time farmers also used cobwebs from the barn, i've used cobwebs myself, if you can get a bunch it does work
