Hen severely injured

[MysteryChicken]

Do I apply warm water and soap everyday. How do I get her eyes to stay open and heal them. How can I feed her she won’t eat or drink. I think it’s because she cannot see. I tried dipping her beak in water she will not drink.

Triple Antibiotic ointment(Non Pain Relieving), or Petroleum Jelly for the head wound.

Eye swelling usually goes down on it's own, it can be associated with a head injury, or they can be unaffected.

If you have a syringe, you can drip some electrolyte water in her beak. It may encourage her.

If needed force feed a few bits of hard boiled, or scrambled eggs. The taste may encourage her to eat on her own.

I soaked her head on hydroproxide just now.

Hydrogen Peroxide can inhibit proper healing. Only use once, or twice for cleaning when first discovering the wound.

So could I apply nespourin to her eyes?

If you suspect her eyes are injured.
They'll need to be flushed out with mild salt water, or a saline solution first though.

Are eye drops a form of saline solution?

I don't think so, unless it states on the bottle it's just saline.

I don’t have saline solution can I just salt and water? Would that work?

Mild salt water, I did suggest in the original post.

I couldn’t find my nespourin. Could I use Vaseline as a petroleum jelly?

It's pretty much the samething. Apply ot to the head wound for moisture.
