    Potential abscess on back of foot - light bleeding

    I'm so sorry to hear about your poor chicken! As @Eggcessive recommends, maybe try doing the Epsom salt soak -- I did that for my hen (who had the mysterious injury in my original post), and I was able to clean it a little bit. I also sprayed the wound with Vetericyn and wrapped it in gauze...

    Serious leg injury from dog attack, treatment advice needed

    I've downloaded the attachment -- thank you!! This is a great resource to have on hand. Lulu does seem comfortable on the towels and in the sling (she'll fall asleep periodically, so I assume she is at least comfy enough to snooze??) We'll give her the time she needs...even if she has to limp...

    Serious leg injury from dog attack, treatment advice needed

    That's so good to hear that your chicken healed after taking some time to rest! We have a large dog crate we can put Lulu in, so I think we'll do that as well. We have three other chickens who stay outside in our backyard, so we'll be sure to keep them separated. Thanks for replying :)

    Potential abscess on back of foot - light bleeding

    I was wondering if that's what it was at first -- I'll keep an eye on it. I'm hoping the salt soaks and cleaning attempts (and the neosporin) will help expel all the bad stuff.

    Potential abscess on back of foot - light bleeding

    Thank you!! I wrapped it in gauze last night with a bit of athletic tape after applying more antimicrobial spray, and luckily the bandage stayed on throughout the night (although everyone was curious and pecking at it at first :rolleyes: ) I’ll definitely try the salt soak today to see if I can...

    Potential abscess on back of foot - light bleeding

    I have a 9-month-old BO with what looks like an abscess or some kind of growth/injury on the back of her foot, almost on the "ankle" part of her leg. It isn't on the bottom of her foot, so the wound doesn't fully touch the ground when she's walking around -- she is not limping or showing any...
