She's young, only about 11 weeks. She must have been sitting on a folding lawn chair when somehow it was knocked into a folded position & she was sitting there stuck. About the top half inch of her toe is totally flattened & she bled about a tablespoon or two (it collected in the arm of the chair.) She is just sitting & it is still bleeding a little, but I have NO IDEA what to do? wash it? neosporin? Wrap it? I'm quite sure it's broken, but it is just the tip below her nail... see I don't even know what the proper chicken terms are! Please give me any advice you can!
thanks in advance!
 
Welcome! I'd wrap it up and see what happens. I had a pigeon that had her toe pinched in the door of my loft and she healed on her own.
 
i think the tip of her toe is going to fall off, its practically severed... should i let it fall off or clip it? I'm actually not sure i have it in me to clip it... but maybe my husband will if needed.
 
It did eventually fall off & has healed over nicely. I used this powder that crusted over the wound & that blue spray.
