Ok great, so while it’s infected chlorhexidine is better. And I shouldn’t remove any dead tissue, just flush it?

How long would I give the Fish Mox for?

Thanks for your help @Eggcessive !!

That’s inside the pocket, before the wound got infected. Still looked gross though. The white is a q tip btw. She’s still acting totally fine though which is a good thing. And I’m so glad the crop wound mostly closed up, hopefully that continues to heal ok.

Ohh ok I found those at Walmart! So that will work too? I didn’t know that! I did find chlorhexidene the other day, but it was so expensive I decided not to buy it since I already have the betadine and it wasn’t infected yet at that point. But I’ll try to get some now. It feels a little puffy...

Or are there any other antibiotics they sell at tractor supply that would be good for wound infections?

The area I circled in red is an area where I pulled off some shriveled up skin that was hanging and now that seems to have gotten infected. I’ve been cleaning the wound with diluted betadine and putting antibiotic ointment on once or usually twice a day, anything else I should be doing? I’m...

Hi everyone! I have another question for you all 🙈 so the puncture wounds actually are looking quite good now, they have almost totally scabbed over and closed up now and I haven’t noticed them leaking in a while!🙌 And they don’t appear infected anymore. However, the wound on her back, which I...

The vet really didn’t do much for $340😭😭 the antibiotics were only $20 and then she gave her a $70 pain med and didn’t even clean the wounds that well ugh..

Oh boy... it wouldn’t be from drinking a lot of water at one time? Ok so just dab it on, not scrub it or anything? Thanks. So keep giving her water even if it’s draining out? I’m afraid the wound won’t heal and will remain a fistula.

She just pooped this too, is that normal?

I’m just letting her drink little bits at a time. It hasn’t started leaking out of her wound yet. But she’s still SO thirsty! Like lapping up all the little drops that spill. And she keeps clicking her beak together after drinking (like smacking kind of). Sometimes I hear her stomach gurgle too.

She’s really thirsty but I can’t let her drink too much water right? I don’t know what to do

We think so. I explained it in post #59.
