Vet Caustic Silver Nitrate Styptic Pencil
Veterinary Caustic Pencil: 95% Silver Nitrate + 55 Potassium nitrate fused onto a pencil contained within a plastic holder.
This design gives a pointed end and is thus ideal for spot use.
To stop bleeding toe nails: moisten slightly with clean water then carefully place onto the end of the nail.
NOTE: Do not use styptic powder or pencils on birds with broken blood feathers / these items are caustic to skin (especially delicate bird skin).
