Usually not. The vet treats the external part of the cracked
beak with an preventative against infection. A vet also uses
certain types of glue based mesh if the crack is extremely
severe. The vet probably told her what she has to do during
the next few days concerning hard food and extreme pressure
on that area. Beak cracking is handled by a vet much better
than a few years ago when the vet had little to work with---
