Damaged Claw! Help Please! Solved!

[DogAndCat36]

My roo, Wren, he is a Golden Laced Sebright, has a bloody “thumb". It is bleeding at the base area where the flesh meets the claw. I know that people say that roosters can get hurt in fights and they will be okay but it is bleeding pretty bad. Please help. Also, I think he got is when he was kicking me.

Edit- Holy crud! It did not get better! I just went to check on him again and found his claw was barely attracted to the foot! It is being held by about a few paper-thins worths of the claw! What do I do!!

The bleeding usually stops pretty soon. If its still bleeding wash it off, disinfect, and put some flour on it. The flour will help stem the blood flow.

Don't worry, most likely he will be fine.

If it looks beyond healing it's best to take a sharp shears and cut it off. If it looks as though it might heal clean and wrap it. It would be best to pen him for the night so the wound has a chance to scab over as you said it was muddy there.

It is muddy where I live right now, I won't be able to flour it. I hope that he will be ok.

Can you attach a picture? Snip off the thread holding it. Put some flour or corn starch on the tip and place her in a dog crate or basket on a towel for bedding. Or hold her for a bit with a washcloth on it.

We do not have a pen. Would put him in a box be okay, it is a big box? (we put him in a box when he is bad so...)

Ok, but I do not have animal nail clippers.
