This is WAY after the fact....but try to dip it in flour and then kind of let it make a paste and squeeze it around the toe. Of course if you have not stopped the bleeding by now (some 12 hours later) something tells me she has probably bled out......yikes....I hope you were able to get it stopped. Flour will sometimes work. Toe nails are bad bleeders.
eta: See I am too late....you already had great advice thrown out there. Hope it all went well.
Oh, and to whomever posted...I will have to go and get some of those stop sticks....did not know you could buy them. Never thought about things like that in the shaving area. Good thing to have in my chicken box for emergencies. And also, the super glue - yep. it works great.
Yes, I too am seeing this post from Whitney WAAAY after the fact...
Super glue is the way to go. I agree cauterizing was the way to go, but for the faint of heart...super glue is easier. Silver nitrate is great too. Didn't kow you could still get that stuff...gotta go looking for it now.... I once had to cut spurs and they bled like crazy, I was able to put pressure bandages on them, but a toe would be hard.
SO HERE IS THE QUESTION OF THE DAY.....HOW MUCH BLOOD IS INSIDE OUR FEATHERD KIDS??? Anyone know?
If you find the Silver Nitrate can you post where??

I originally put Baby in a trio and despite being the smallest, she was the first one in the food dish every time. I later added a younger chick to the group and the other 2 birds pecked at it but Baby was gentle and loving to the newborn chick so I paired them up, even though the chick is a smooth-feathered Serama because I doubt that Baby is ever going to be large enough to breed.
She's got the full Ball body type. She looks like a tennis ball that needs a haircut.
She's just an amazing little novelty. I've also been calling her Snowflake.

That there is just too adorable! He looks like he's having a great time! Does he ever leave a "deposit" on your laptop?
LOL! actually this is the only time he has been there, he has a bath mat on the top of his cage he spends most of his time- or on his blanket on the couch....
