I picked up Valentine tonite from her cage, sat back down in the recliner put my ice pack on (it's wrapped in a towel) . She had none of that, she started attacking it. I decided to put it up, when I got up the ice pack slipped out of the towel. When I went to pick it up Valentine was attacking the towel and gave me a serious bite on the side of thumb. I have low platelets which means the blood doesn't clot. So I cleaned it, put peroxide on it, then neosporine then the band aid. This happened about 8:30 tonite, just looked at the bandaid, it's bleeding again but not as much as before. I will say one more thing, the ER is out, they cant do anything.

Is it a puncture, or a cut?

Sorry for your boo boo. Wish I had a solution for you. Praying it stops bleeding soon!

Can you get stypwool? It’s like quick stop but a fibre. That stuff works a treat but b is very hard to find here now. It used to be the only thing that was successful at stopping my nose bleeds so I didn’t need to go to the ER.
I hope it sorts itself out soon so you don’t have to make a hosi trip.

Corn starch was why I asked about a puncture or not. Neosporin is really bad for them too. You don't want to lock bacteria in. Neosprn can do that (cause of the petroleum base) & actually cause an infection. With the bleeding it's very slowly pushing bacteria out (like when a pimple pops & bleeds) the bacteria is pushed out & the blood removes it. I know gross & probably not 100% accurate in my explanation but the only way I can think of @ the moment.

Believe it or not but spider webs can be used to stop bleeding. Spider's web is rich in vitamin K which acts as a clotting agent. Make a wad of it and hold on the wound or use a bandaid or surgical tape to hold it in place. It's a survival tool I learned in Ranger school.

Wow. I’m gonna try this. Now I have a valid reason to leave the outside cobwebs all over my windows :laugh:
Isn’t nature fascinating and marvellous!
Thanis for sharing this @OK Mike :)

Ohhh who am I kidding..... I already use the excuse that the birds like to steal the cobwebs to use in their nest building as a reason to leave the cobwebs :lol:
