Stop bleeding from spurs

[mrsreeks87]

So today my husband and I removed our rooster spurs for the first time by using the twist off techniques well after we expected some blood but he is still bleeding and I need a way to stop it. Please help.

Welcome, glad you have joined us, but so sorry about your problem.

If you have a Styptic Pencil then use that. If not, many recommend Cornstarch.

You could just us topical pressure on the bleeding area for 5-7 minutes.

Hope this help.

You are off line, so I don't think any suggestions will help now. You could post on the emergencies, diseases, injuries, cures," thread. Or just put "Bleeeding spurs," in the search box.

There's a lot of great peeps here! Feel free to ask lots of questions. But most of all, make yourself at home. I'm so glad you decided to join the BYC family. I look forward to seeing you around the run.
I use the powder farmers use for cattle castration. It works great. Hope your roosters are fine.
