9 days ago Chased off a family of raccoons. Momma chomped on my Brahma’s head, she has some superficial bites and I believe her eye burst. Poor Marshmallow. ;( She was in shock for a couple days and I was giving her about 20ml fluid daily via syringe. She started pecking at meal worms and dry feed slowly. I gave her egg a couple days then she suddenly stopped eating everything but mealworms. She is going through a very hard molt as well but I worry about giving her too much protein and nothing else. I’ve also yet to see her take a sip of water. I give her 5ml at a time (in 1/2ml increments) but I don’t have help with me to do it more often than 4 times a day. I’ve got her on amoxicillin 20mg/pound twice daily. I increased it when I noticed some abscesses forming around the scabs on her head. Eye seems to be healing without infection. And the abscesses seem to be going down. She shivers when handled and her appetite was already down prior to the attack, I believe because she was molting. Went from pooping 1/day, to about 4/day. Seems mostly normal. Brown or dark green with white.
Any ideas anything else to eat? I’ve tried wet feeed, fermented feed, grapes, tomatoes. Dry feed, boiled and scrambled eggs. All she wants is worms.
Pics are from a couple days ago, I took pictures of the abscesses. They are healing quickly on all but the cheek/ear. I’ll drain tomorrow evening if the others aren’t better by then.
