Nail trimming gone bonkers

[sadies chicks]

I just trimmed my silkies nails and accidentally cut back too far on two toes. What do I do? There was definite blood and knowing what we do with cat's nails that are trimmed back too much I would have to think I would need to do something similar? is there a particular product I need to use?

thanks!!

Grab some flour and hold it onto the toes to help stop bleeding.

Then before you start next time get some quick-stop powder (like for dog nails) to have on hand. (Wonder Dust works also.)

Got it, thanks!!

Hold the bird and dip the toe into a small bowl or plate of corn starch, just regular powder corn starch from your kitchen. It helps stem the bleeding. Since it's close to bedtime, I bet it will roost all night and be better by morning.

Yeah I am sure she will sleep herself better, I just spent the last 5 minutes trying to catch her in the yard to get flour on her toe

THANKS!
