So helpful! You might add, NU STOCK wound cream is THE BEST wound care cream I've found. It's sold at feed/supply stores.
I only wish I had found this article last week. My precious feathered friend was attacked by a hawk. The hawk left her when he saw me. I would love if you would add a comment that punctures don't look so bad at first and may not bleed much, if at all. At first, I really though I could nurse her back to health. It wasn't until hours later that I could see how bad her injuries really were. It wasn't until after she passed that I realized that, though she barley bled at all, the hawk's talons had badly injured her inside, where I could not see. I wish I had spent the few hundred dollars in the middle of the night and demanded that any emergency vet take a look. I think they would have known how bad off she was and sugested to euthanize her, even though a bird vet wasn't available. I hope this helps someone to make the choice to end their little friend's suffering. I will forever hold this hurt and regret in my heart. Rest in peace my precious little Snowy.
