    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    I think I did better this time. I also put some white tape around the top of her foot because she was picking up apart the other, but she has been active and is even dusting now! I just hope that the thing stays because I think keeping it covered will be key to her not re-entering it. I’m just...

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    her quick broke in half, rebled. i rinsed, styptic powder. put her back on meloxicam. i did a makeshift wrap but i'm sure it's wrong. do you know of a good video how to wrap a toe? i can't find a good one on youtube

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    hi, she's about the same. I agree she must have a hairline fracture or something more than the toe that's causing discomfort. she can bend her toe around the roost but I can see it is uncomfortable, still tucking her leg, but standing on it more, appetite still less-I am supplementing her at...

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    hi. i appreciate your interest! i do not see any size or color difference in her shanks which are a blue gray, but yes that toe is darker. would that be bruised? if you scroll to pics of day 1 you can see her toes were the same color, lighter. the photo i sent earlier today, there may be a bit...

    thank you! I'm not sure I thought to do that, other than looking for a red streak.

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    You are so kind...Yesterday she was still isolating, so I gave her BioMycin yesterday afternoon. She tanked around dinner time didn't even want her favorite snack but did go to roost. This AM I cleaned it again (no change in color) and sprayed a bandaid on. There is no evidence of exposure? Her...

    i guess irs possible. she does not squirm or flinch when I touch the toe. I wish I knew how it happened!

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    epsom salt is a good idea. one week later...nothing on the bottom, the toe is kind of limp, she doesn't stand on it for very long/keeps it tucked. she's in the middle of the pecking order so just doesn't want to risk dealing with being picked on. I don't see anything open unless the quick being...

    I have felt both of her feet after she’s been sitting and the foot that is hurt still feels warmer than the other

    Lost toenail ? Injury question.

    yes, even more so it seems. She’s also starting to isolate a bit and shy away from others which is a new development since the accident a week ago.

    Chicken w/Exposed Quick of Toenail

    should I take into consideration that she improved after two days jumping on the shed scratching in the grass, etc. and then started to decline about two days ago when her foot became noticeably warm and she’s starting to isolate and rest more? Today makes one week since the incident.

    Sneezing chicken no other symptoms

    I have one who has been doing this for a week a couple times a day, not always that mucous sounding, usually clean "peeps". sometimes after she eats for a longer period. no other respiratory symptoms that have caused me to use an antibiotic in the past. only other oddity is she laid a rubbery...

    Chicken w/Exposed Quick of Toenail

    this is my hen's toe friday (left) after she lost her toenail Monday (right) I cleaned it the first day, stopped bleeding and applied a spray on bandage. sunday, she is still tucking her foot, sitting more than usual and those foot toes were warm to the touch. I don't see any other sign of...
