I have a brand new silkie (showgirl) that was just hatched today. It's feet look sort of curled so I attempted to make those little cardboard boots, but she was trying to get away and it just fell off... taking a piece of nail with it! There was a tiny bit of blood so I grabbed some syptic powder and put it on. Afterwards, I wondered if it was ok... searched 'sypic powder' here and saw a bunch of things that said to use it... hen one saying if it has benzocaine in it, it can kill them!!! MINE HAS BENZOCAINE!
I just put this on a teeny tiny baby born today! A bantam at that! I just washed off her foot, but it was already on there for probably over an hour, probably directly into her blood stream! Will she be ok?!?!? I am so scared that I hurt her.
