A small update: She is still recuperating in our little bathroom. I was going to move her to a crate in our basement with our other 3 chickens who all had some sort of injury this winter, but we seemed to get a bit droopy for a day or two and we decided to keep her in the bathroom right off our bedroom in case she needed help. I think she is just lonely, as we now have a the bottom of the doorway blocked but are keeping her door open and she is much more active when she can hear and see activity. She still can't hop up on anything, so it will work for a few more days.
Here are some updated pics:
This is her wound now. It is super dark from the Blu-Kote spray. I have been keeping it moist with Vetrycin as it was cracking and bleeding as it dried. She seems much more comfortable with it wet. She is also starting to get more movement in the shoulder so I want her to be able to flex it without worrying about opening it back up.
This is her poor naked back, which won't be naked for long! She is growing a healthy batch of new pin feathers!!!
My sweet girl is definitely making a comeback!
