I (with help from an ornithologist) trimmed my month-old silkie's nail to collect a little blood for a DNA sex test. Afterwards, we held a cotton ball with corn starch on it for a few minutes till the bleeding stopped. Then the bleeding restarted so we held a fresh corn starch cotton ball on there for most of an hour.
The bleeding has stopped, but there's still cotton stuck on there and I don't want to rip it off and reopen it. I also don't want it to be infected.
Any suggestions on how to proceed?
