Bleeding from toenail
Daisey has broken part of a toe nail off and made it bleed, will it heal itself if its kept clean or do I need to intervene? Please

Is it still bleeding? If so stick her foot in flour it stops the bleeding. A vet told me to do it with a cockatiel I had that had broken her nail off.
I just bathed the foot in salty water with the bird but you may need to do something different with a tortoise. See what others say x
