Beak trimmed a bit too far - what do I do?

[JustBabyMargo]

Just a thought if you have to do it again, maybe one of those cauterizing tools/pen might take it off and seal the wound from bleeding?

What is a cauterizing tool?

 

[JustBabyMargo]

Do not use super glue around any face on an animal. It has a strong chemical fumes that gets released as it dries. It's a caustic fume.

Great information. Glad I didn’t! Is Neosporin fine to put on her beak?

What is a cauterizing tool?

If it's what I think it is, it spins around very fast. It's kinda like a grinder or something. Someone told me to use it for doing my dog's nails, but I don't have one.

A cauterizing tool generates a high temperature spark that seals the blood vessels and prevents further bleeding. Vets and doctors use it as they perform surgery to seal off exposed blood vessels that are bleeding.

Oh, okay! Thank you.

Is Neosporin fine to put on her beak? Just want to make sure.

It's fine. Neosporin is safe to use on a beak or anywhere on the face.

Is it still bleeding?

When I left her, it wasn’t bleeding. I’m going to check on her right now and apply some Neosporin onto her beak, so I’ll go see.

Fingers crossed! I'm sure she'll be ok but it must be pretty painful.

I was going to say if it is, you could try spraying a bit of this on her beak.

It helps a lot with bleeding and will prevent infection. I've used it several times now on impossible-to-bandage areas, and it is great. It will turn things silver temporarily though.
