My 1.5 week old chick injured itself, shattering the larger wing bone entirely and completely exposing the smaller wing bone still intact. The wing was still attatched by flesh, which I severed and removed. It had already started to discolor and get mushy, but still had some blood flow and had not become necrotic yet. The chick is still very active, alert, eating and pooping, running around w/ it's hatch mates and mom. My question is what to do if anything w/ the two bones, the one that is shattered and jagged, as well as the one that is in tact.
small inner circle is the jagged bone end, the larger circle shows the wing nub w/ some swelling, not sure if it is infection starting or just from the trauma.
here is the in tact wing bone
short circle is the jagged bone, long circle is the in tact bone
showing he is bright and alert this is 12+ hours after the event.
again showing both bones. The wet is vetricyn spray.
