So when I went out to water the flock this morning, I found one of my rhode island reds had broke her nail off right to the quick. I took her inside and cleaned her foot and used cornstarch to stop it from bleeding. Then I returned her to the flock. Went back out a couple hours later and she was dripping drops of blood again. So I brought her back inside, washed and cornstarched again but this time I had her just sit on my lap for about 30 min. I tried putting cornstarch on a tiny piece of paper towel and wrapped vet wrap over top to hold it on her toe. Well I'm not a doctor and I guess I did it wrong because it came off when I put her down. It wasnt bleeding anymore so I decided to take her back out. I figured she was getting hot because she just kept leaving her mouth open. She seems fine now out there, but I'm concerned about her reopening it again. All I have is cornstarch, vet wrap, and pine tar (had to purchase that when my roo got hurt). Should I try the pine tar and vet wrap if it starts bleeding again?
