Huge area exposed ***UPDATE 1/20/14***PICTURES

What happened to her? Was she attacked by a predator? Do you know?

I am hoping the best for you. If she can fight off infection she should recover just fine.

What kind of vitamins, probiotics, antibiotics?. Do I need to get these from a vet?

The antibiotics were in post #7. Yogurt in small amounts will work for probiotics and a very good probiotic powder is this:http://www.jefferspet.com/probios-dispersible-powder/p/16568/

Eggecessive, I can't thank you enough for your wonderful advice!!!! The time you put into your answers!
Shout outs to everyone else!!!!
I bought a bunch of stuff that was suggested and when I get home... I will do it all!

I think my puggle may have done it cuz it could have been worse.

Hope she feels better soon. It doesn't look too bad and will probably heal up nicely. She is a very pretty chicken!

 

[Ellisa]

Thank you circesfire... that gives me hope. : )

 

[circesfire]

You are very welcome! I am still very new at chickens but have years worth of experience treating injured birds, mostly raptors, under my belt. Wound care and broken bones were always my favorite to treat because the birds were so resilient! If you have time post a pic in a couple of days and let us know how she is doing

 

[Ellisa]

I will post an update in a few days.... thank you!!!!!!

 

[Ellisa]

Please tell me is this looking better or getting worse? Thank you!

No smell from wound? Appears to be healing,you can see tissue is starting to grow/fill in,this will heal from the inside out. Hard to tell from picture,what is the yellow area is this antibiotic ointment or scab wet from washing wound?

 

[Ellisa]

No it's not ointment

I hope it's not something bad.....I took these pictures before I put on the ointment and the ointment is clear.
