    Need Advice On Amputation ASAP - Rooster Has Frostbitten Leg - UPDATE: Leg Has Been Amputated Succes

    I know how you feel... In the cases where I amputated, the wings were clearly not salvageable and the birds did not feel a thing when I cut them off. What I would worry the most about is the open wound at the end of the stump and I'm not sure what the bst thing to do is ( other than vet). -Kathy

    I've never amputated a limb due to frostbite, but I have hacked off a few wings from other injuries. If I were going to do it I think I would probably do it about .5"-1" above the black part. -Kathy
