I think you should take him to a vet dear

 

[Billie Faye]

Can you call a avian vet and tell them what happened and see what you need to do...
Do you have an idea of how much he took in?

 

[robin's my baby]

a drop or two and i will see if we can get are vet on the phone

It's in powder form, right?

 

[robin's my baby]

liquid form I'm so stupid for trying the vet said there was nothing he could do so he is in a towel with flower on his Beck so it stops bleeding

 

[GG.]

Sarah, what started his beak bleeding - can we help you with it?

 

[robin's my baby]

i was triming his beck (it grows vary fast and needs triming offten) so i get him in the towle and just as i trim he sqerms causing me to take a bit to much off

 

[GG.]

ok, is the flour stopping the bleeding now?

Did the vet say that his beak should be trimmed regularly? It is my understanding that Hahns Macaws just have long pointy beaks and that it shouldn't be trimmed.

I hope he'll be ok. Maybe in the future just give him some nuts in the shell and he can trim his beak naturally.

 

[Billie Faye]

Do you have an Cayenne pepper in the kitchen????
THAT will stop it IMMEDATELY! and it won't hurt them either....
Was it the upper or lower beak????

 

[robin's my baby]

we whent to the vet because of blood loss he is ok now

 

[GG.]

thank you for letting us know Sarah, I am glad he is ok



(I am moving this to the Macaw forum since he has been to the vet )

 

[Birdbabe]

whew! Im glad hes ok, can you file the beak instead of trim? Thats what I do.

 

[Riley's mom]

So glad he's okay now. The beak bleeds alot so I know you were scared. FYI, we have found that the liquid Kwik Stop does not work as well as the powder. Maybe some hard wood toys might help keep the beak down some. Good luck.

What a fright for you

 

[robin's my baby]

hes not a chewer but he loves Popsicle sticks so were going to pick a lode up for him

 

[Ladyredwingrider]

I'm so glad he ok. Have you tried Pine cones for chewing?
