Last night I used a wash of warm water and hydrogen peroxide to clean the wound. I figured straight hydrogen peroxide would be unbearable. I then put triple antibiotic ointment on the back of her head and ripped comb part. I have been feeding her a gruel of yogurt, applesauce, oats, and ripped...

Here's another picture from the "hanging" side. The comb is turning a darker color. POOR THING!!

Thank you for your opinion. I was wondering about antibiotics. I thought maybe some baby tylenol to possibly ease her pain? I had looked on here that it is safe to give to chickens. You think it will heal fine just hanging there and then later it will have to be cut? We do not have a vet around...

Yes, I'm almost 99% positive it was the Roo, he is in his teenager years, this isn't the first time he has put some damage on one of our hens. Although, it has never ever been this bad. I saw him chasing her (comb intact) and then the next second shes laying on the ground bleeding horribly! My...

We have a really feisty, overly aggressive Roo- his fate is yet to be decided. He has been picking on all the hens. However, he really got a hold of one of them yesterday and I found her with her comb 1/2 torn off. I have kept her in quarantine since then. Along with her comb, she has a large...

Thank you greenboyz, I did not even think of doing sugar/water to boost his energy a little. I will a little sugar in the next syringe bottle. If corid is similar to sulmet, then I think tetracycline might be the way to go next, hopefully Kathy will let me know if she thinks its a good idea to...

I now believe that it is not fowl cholera, considering the antibiotics are not working, he has no signs of an upper respiratory infection, so I don't know if tetracycline is my best bet... no coughing, no nasal discharge, within the last 24 hours his comb has flipped over and it's now a light...

Thank you Kathy and 2greenboyz for your responses. So here's some clarification: 1. The rest of the flock is unaffected. 2. He hasn't been drinking water on his own, so I have been able to control the amount of antibiotics & properly dose him 3. He is currently on sulfamethazine 12.5% (sulmet)...

It sounds like an upper resp. infection. either infectious bronchitis (IB) or coryza, I would go to the feed store and get a broad spectrum antibiotic, like tetracycline- which you put in their water. Also, make sure that when giving an antibiotic you give a probiotic (like yogurt). I hope she...

I recently posted on here about my sick rooster (5 months old). He has had green diarrhea, lameness, and lethargy for four days. Well, long story short I was told he has fowl cholera, so I have been treating him with sulfamethazine sodium solution (12.5%) in his drinking water. I have been...

Thank you for the reply Jim. I plan on disinfecting the coop today, he is separated from the rest of the flock right now and I'm heading to the feed store to get a broad spectrum antibiotic to treat him as soon as they open. I am hoping for the best, I will let you know the outcome. How do I...

I have a five month old Rooster, his symptoms presented today. He is laying in one position and won't move. He isn't tame, but he allows me pick him up right now. He is shaking a little, has vibrant green diarrhea and is lethargic. He has no nasal or ocular discharge, no signs of trauma. All the...
