Four days into recovery. 

I trimmed her wing feathers to allow air flow to the injured flesh beneath them. That really helped, and thankfully (so thankfully!) she was most of the way through a late/early molt and nearly all the clipped wing and tail feathers had grown back in by the time she was ready to rejoin the other ladies on the roost at night. I clipped her tail feathers only because they kept brushing the side of her crate, and I didn't want that to irritate her oil gland-area wounds. Poor babe. : )
