Crowing
How long (how many days) would you recommend keeping her on the cephalaxine?I have used the 30 - 50 mg/kg orally four times a day with good results. You may need to clean the wound again, if pus regenerates (the white cheesy stuff was pus), until the antibiotics start to work.
I'm planning to follow up with probiotics as soon as the course of antibiotics is over. She's going to be a mama and I don't want her to get sour crop from the antibiotics disturbing the gut flora.
I gave the wound another good cleaning today and I'm keeping it filled with antibiotic ointment to prevent it from scabbing over again. The inflammation has gone down a lot, and she doesn't smell anymore. No stiffness in the leg or wing. I think she will recover fine, but the wound will take a long time to completely heal. It looks like the skin basically has to regenerate from the inside out.
