Update...Lola is still alive! Every evening I said she wouldn't make it, but every morning I take that slow, anxiety ridden walk to the bathroom expecting the worst but seeing a great sight. So far she has proven me wrong and I'm so incredibly grateful to the help I've received here. Even though I've had chickens for many years I haven't had many sick chickens and this illness was new to me.
I spray the Vetericyn Wound & Skin Care Spray at least twice a day. The main issue I'm having is her not drinking so I gently squirt water mixed w/ antibiotic in/around her beak hoping some will go down. She's pecking a bit at food and even ate some cooked egg tonight!
The hole seems to be getting smaller and drier but still pretty large. The horrid smell is gone. What a fighter...I hope she wins.
