Awesome news!! I’m sure she’s feeling great now with more better days to come. Bless her!
Very reasonable Vet Bill too … Yay!
♥️♥️♥️
Ps: And…
Special Kudos goes to the “Chicken Nurse” for working so hard for her Girl; she would’ve suffered needlessly otherwise
You can also give Poultry Cell by syringe directly in her mouth.
I believe it’s 1cc-3cc; it will say on the bottle. — You can search up how to give medications to Chickens if you need to, if you haven’t done it before … I’ve seen some good instructional videos on YouTube.
I’ve tried to msg you on your profile but it keeps saying that your limiting ppl from contacting you… I wanted to talk to you about some Amoxicillin. I have some information for you, if your interested…
Very true, unfortunately…
In your experience, would you give a hen Antibiotics at this point? She’s not showing any signs as of yet. Shes actually improving. Would you give anyway due to the nature and extent of the wounds?
@The Chick Addict
Thoughts on Antibiotics?
I was thinking her symptoms were too good at the moment. Wonder if a Vet would treat anyway, empirically, that is…
How I wish more Vets were around to treat our Chickens. This is one of those really hard decisions for us laymen. I’m not sure if she needs antibiotics at this point.
I mean, from what she’s describing today, it doesn’t sound like she has a running infection..
Perhaps, empirically? Yes...
I’m so excited to hear about her process, these are all excellent signs!
You mentioned the hardness?
That is concerning and I’m not sure from here. This is the hard part I was talking about, it’ll get difficult to convey certain things over the message boards. It’s gonna take a lot of what...
Perhaps you were confused as to which part of your reply I was responding to —
This is where I do not agree 👆🏻
1) — I would actually “bother”, because Epsom Salts could be quite useful with this type of wound, to draw out any infection that could be brewing in there...
2) — There’s plenty of...
Sorry, I don’t agree with you. Epsom salts would be great in this situation—
Epsom salt has been used to treat wounds and infections, caution is recommended however, as it could irritate the wound.
— This why I’d alternate between Salts and Mild Soapy water for soaking. Or, just a Simple Saline...
Yes! This sounds like sound advice. You don’t want too much humidity/“water” around a wound… It will only keep it too moist, it won’t heal up and will just attract bad bacteria, fungi, etc.
Thing is about wounds tho…(I’m a retired RN) It’s gonna take a lot of your own assessment skills varying...
