Urgent Parakeet

[Poohbear]

What can I put on my parakeet beak to stop bleeding

 

[Shezbug]

Can you share a pic?

Cornstarch/cornflour/plain flour hold a good pinch of flour gently but firmly on the bleeding area.

It looks like it stopped

I can't see much in your pic unfortunately. Keep an eye on your little one and make sure it is still eating if it has damaged its beak- you may need to see a vet for some pain killer or antibiotics and you may also need to help your little one eat by offering softer foods than seeds.

Also is it a good sign that he’s active & chirping?

 

[Poohbear]

Will it be ok if my parakeet eats a little bit of flour while I’m putting it on his beak . I just want to make sure the bleeding stopped.

 

[Shezbug]

The very small amount ingested while stopping the bleeding will not be a problem.

Monitor very, very closely for the next few days. A small knock can cause a rebleed. As Shez said, contacting your vet to ask about pain meds is also a good idea.
