Thanks for reaching out about Pearla and including a photo. You need to determine where the blood originated from. Broken toe nail apply flour or corn starch. Broken blood feather: place her in a quiet dark area for her blood pressure to drop, she will work it out herself. Any other wound needs to be seen by a veterinarian. Monitor water and food consumption but try to keep stress low. Good luck.
