    Steroid Supplement?

    I wanted to let him work it out, however it's getting worse, not better. With our horses who had previous keg injuries we gave them Bute, which is an anti-inflammatroy non steroidal drug. I was hoping there is something like that available for chickens, though I haven't found anything.

    Steroid Supplement?

His eye was shut closed (picture 1) when I first got out to see him (it was also closed like this since 8pm last night). But he opened it briefly, however...

    Rooster attacked by dog; multiple symptoms (please help)

    Thank you so much for the reply. We're very careful about water-feeding, I'm an Animal Science major, and have had to water-feed in the past. Unfortunately water-feeding, injections, major diseases, and blood draw are the only concrete chicken knowledge I posses (other than regular daily care)...

    Rooster attacked by dog; multiple symptoms (please help)

    Yesterday our speckled sussex rooster (a little over a year, under 10 lbs) was attacked by the neighbors dog. All of his tail feathers were almost ripped off, he had 2 puncture wounds above his left wing (not very deep, but a puncture). Some skin loss to his back side. We cleaned him up with...
