This is my 4th thread about dubbing

[Saaniya]

I'm sorry you and this roo have to go through this!!! You know, you might try ice on his comb for a bit before you cut. Not only will it numb it but also constrict vessels so it doesn't bleed so badly. As everyone else has said, keep everything as clean/sterile as you can. I would hold off on aspirin until you know his comb is pretty scabbed over, as it can act as a blood thinner and he can bleed more easily.
I've never had to go through this either. Poor roo. Good luck! You got this!!

I'm collecting all the stuff medicine blades
Even bandages just waiting for summer go down

As for bleeding, I am always amazed how these cowboys castrate cattle, horses, brand or put ear tags on, all out in the field, no pain killers, no blood stop, nothing! Just hack it off, turn the critter lose and it's done!

Definitely watch some videos Saaniya, and also, after the procedure, make sure to keep him in a sanitary place away from the others for a while. Use some antibiotic lotion on the comb to prevent infection. Right after, I would keep him in a darkened area too, darkness quiets birds and he will no doubt be shocky. If it's not roasting hot when you do this, I would be ready with heat. Shock causes chilling which in itself can kill.

Just be ready with all your supplies, I think he will benefit from this over all. Every time we do stuff like this it's a risk. But speaking for myself, every procedure I've done has turned out well for the bird. If the issue itself is going to kill the bird, the procedure is worth trying.

I wish I was there Saaniya, I would definitely help you with this.

I have to run to town but will be back later to check up on you.

I wish I call u here I'm just so much so much afraid

Then got this video

Here cock comb is similar with my tootoo but I'm very shocked to see there's no much bleeding as people says big Combs bleed

My problem with this video is how close the comb is cut and what it’s cut with.

I think scissors are the tool of choice because it will pinch the blood vessels as they cut.

Helpful tips for when you dub. A few days before you start begin giving him vitamin K to aid clotting. Dub him late in the afternoon so his crop is full and he can go straight to bed, if he isn't running around he will bleed less and heal faster. You already know to dub when the weather is as cool as possible. When you cut, go from the back to the front. Get a second person to help if you can, you really need one to hold and one to cut.

I agree here, scissors are probably the way to go, but they need to be extremely sharp.

Excellent advice!!

Only cut what is needed. Do not cut really close to the head, it's not necessary. I would imagine the bleed will be much less the further you cut from the thickest part of the comb.

Look at the comb as it's flopping and determine what needs to be cut and what not to cut. Draw on his comb the cuts you want to make.
