Plum Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think I would as long as she has no bloody areas. So I would use purple spray or some food colouring to disguise the red and watch them for a bit. They are playing you up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 8, 2010 Share Posted January 8, 2010 I think I'd keep her indoors for a day until you're sure the bleeding's stopped. (You can put cornflour on a wound to stop bleeding.) There's no harm keeping her in a box during the day as long as she's got food and water. If she has the saddle on, perhaps she'll be OK to go back with the others when the bleeding has stopped. Just seen what Plum's posted . We're not much help, giving you opposing advice.

They are playing you up yes they are playing me up i just would love them to get back to normal on top of this our boiler has broken so no heating or hot water so not a great start to the year wander why she is hurting her beak and foot to get to them i know she is missing daisy and vice a versa as i bought them from wernlas at 5 days old and have never been apart even throught the mesh! they cant wait to be together as anyone else had probelms like this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
