Update on Genghis Khan (Rooster):
I soaked his leg with epsom salt, sprayed the Vetericyn spray on the wounds, wrapped it and placed a splint on it.
Gave him antibiotics. He is comfortable. I’ll keep y’all posted. Here are some pics of the process! It takes a village to heal a rooster, y’all!
You have been so helpful! I really do appreciate you! I will return the pen. They do have Amox. Which do you think is better, Amox or the tetroxy?
Again, THANK YOU!!!!!
The vet hasn’t dropped off the antibiotics yet but when I was at TSC, I bought some of the penicillin they give fish so I’m hoping that may work if he doesn’t drop it off today.
Called the vet school, and they aren’t taking any new patients.
I have the wrap and Vetericyn coming via Amazon today. Will be splinting and wrapping tonight
I bought the fish antibiotics (Penicillin) because my vet hasn’t dropped off the antibiotics yet. I’m hoping that works!
So I called our vet and he doesn’t do chickens. He did give me some antibiotics so I’m going to give that a go! I do have a the Texas A&M vet school near me but I would be looking at spending hundreds if not thousands. I can’t find another vet will treat a rooster.
I’m gonna keep trying to...
hey guys!
I posted a few days ago that my rooster was injured with a leg tag being caught on a screw. My rooster is about 2.5 months and is a Plymouth Rock.
I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide and have been putting neosporin and lightly wrapped it.
Last night it started to form blisters...
Sorry! Here are pictures before I wrapped it. I cleaned it with hydrogen peroxide, put some neosporin and wrapped it in gauze.
I hope what I did was okay!!!
Hey guys!
So this passed weekend I put tags on my chickens legs and left them a little loose so they can grow into them. BAD IDEA.
I have a rooster who caught his tag in a screw in the coop in the nesting bars, and was hanging upside down when I came in this morning. His foot was bleeding...
I’ve heard chickens do not like fluorescent lighting because they are sensitive to the flickering that we as humans don’t notice as much. Maybe try switching out the light?
