Injured Hen

post #1 of 5
Thread Starter 

My poor little hen has broken open her middle toe. It looks to be separated at the joint and is, of course, very swollen. We have cleaned it, covered with neosporin and gauze, then splinted with a trimmed emery board, wrapped that with electrical tape. Right or wrong? Any hope that she will recover?

can you post a picture?

Deuteronomy 32:11
He is like an eagle that stirs up its nest. It hovers over it little ones. It spreads out it wings to catch them on its feathers.

I didn't think to take one before we taped it up. I've never seen anything like it. It was cut from the top and separated at the cartilage.

I might take her to the vets for an antibiotic injection incase of infection and get a second opinion on it x

Thanks. I can't imagine how it happened. Just breaks my heart.
