So last night a coyote got my Sebastopol goose, (of course not one of the mean ganders) but thankfully the neighbors dog scared it away. They dropped her and ran off. I would love more than anything to take her to the vet, but we are still paying off a few thousand dollars that I’ve racked up with all of our animals, and my husband said no way. Thankfully the only wound that I can see is just her skin torn apart and the flesh looks in tact.
Last night you could see the tear in her skin and her flesh more clearly. I’ve sprayed it with Vetericyn wound care and that’s it so far. I know someone who is in vet school and is willing to come over in 4 hours to give her stitches, although I’m not so sure it is necessary.
What treatment would you recommend for this? Would you close it up with stitches? How do I prevent infection? Sorry I can’t seem to get very clear pictures. The last one is just so you can see her sweet face. Thank you in advance for any help, it’s very much appreciated!
