So how is the patient doing? Curious how her recovery is coming along.
I have been meaning to update for a week or so now. I really need to take pictures ASAP, but we are away until tomorrow evening. She is doing incredible. She has muscle growing up and over the bone and skin growing along behind the muscle. The exposed joint has a large black knob shaped scab that is slowly growing up and looks like it will peel off eventually. She is regaining some motion in the wing and she is dying to get out of the dog kennel that she is in. We have her in the basement with 2 other hens and a rooster who were recuperating from other much more minor injuries that they got over the winter, but she is in the kennel so they can't pick on her. She is so much more active with the others within sight. I really need to get the roo out so she can be with the hens.
I will get pics in a day or two and you will be amazed at her progress. I am so thankful I didn't put her down. I really thought that was the only choice, and she has truly come back from the brink.
