Best way to trim my roosters spurs

[aart]

Just went to check on him. His left spur was still bleeding, but I think I was right about him bumping it, because I noticed a loose piece of flesh at the end of the spur were the blood was coming from. I coated the entire spur in corn starch, and applied pressure with a gloved hand checking ever 3-5 minuets. After about 15 minuets the bleeding finally stopped. Hopefully it stays that way and he doesn't bump it again.

Corn starch works here but yes it takes some time and pressure.

It has Benzocaine to numb it and stops bleeding

Don't!

Any "___caine" medicine is dangerous to birds.

Thank you for this curtail info. I'm going to look or the poultry specified styptic powder next time I'm at the feed store. I had no idea.

I believe it is...been around a long time tho.

@casportpony would know if '___caines' are toxic.

I used to wrap my rooster in a towel and use a PediPaws device to dull the ends. Didn't have to worry about bleeding

The over the counter medications that contain "caines" are not toxic.
