KimKim Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 Maybe try corn starch and try to hold it tight? Hopefully you will get more replies that can help Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danmcq Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 KimKim is right. If you don't have it then use flour and hold pressure as she said. It will clot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocelyn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 KimKim is right. If you don't have it then use flour and hold pressure as she said. It will clot. I tried applying pressure and he freaked, and it bled worse I only had flour but a friend is coming to help with corn starch I hear nail varnish and soap are good ideas any thoughts?

Luvparrots Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 If you are close to where there are pet supplies: Pet store, pharmacy,,,, Pick up some Kwik Stop (styptic powder) which is a dog/cat bird medication that will stop bleeding due to clipping or nails, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jocelyn Posted November 11, 2013 Share Posted November 11, 2013 he stopped bleeding a while ago (corn starch) and is drinking and cleaning himself, I have taken the sandpaper perches out of his cage as well, and turned the heat up in my house...

Brat Birds Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 All good ideas. I am glad he is doing OK now. I have never cut my Grey's nails too short, but I have my Tiel's often. I found with them I can hold an ice cube on the nail/toe and it will stop. Not sure my Grey would let me do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timbersmom Posted November 12, 2013 Share Posted November 12, 2013 When you get a chance, get some of the styptic powder to have on hand, "just in case." Glad the bleeding has stopped and all is well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kins2321@yahoo.com Posted November 13, 2013 Share Posted November 13, 2013 I have a product called " dermabond" in case they bleed. I wouldn't remove the sand perches. The goal is for the bird to trim their beaks and nails on their own. Sand perches help. Nancy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
