    Trimming/filing nails

    Hi everyone Barnie my barnevelder is about 2 years old and was sold to me with crooked toes on one of her feet, due to the positioning of the toes she obviously can't wear the nails down by herself...how do I go about trimming them and is that okay to do in the first place? Don't want them to...

    Dog attack injury

    She is in a cage right next to my main coop/run, they see each other constantly and hang out through the wire mesh. I will check her wounds again and then think about letting her out with supervision, that won't be a problem. I know it's an issue if they see red but what about purple? Her back...

    Dog attack injury

    1 week later I am so happy to report that she is pretty much back to her normal self! Since moving her back outside she's been itching to get out of her cage (it is 1.8m long so plenty of room) and join the rest of the flock. There were no signs of infection on her wounds, she's eating and...

    Dog attack injury

    It's been 4 days now, I plan on moving her to a secure isolation cage outside next to the chicken pen so she can be near her friends, I imagine that would only benefit her recovery. Unfortunately I am not able to bring any friends to her, only the other way around. She seems lonely now. I hope...

    Dog attack injury

    48 hours later She's perked up so much! Letting me feed her out of my hand, she's had scrambled egg and high protein feed mash, with very high water content in case she's not interested in plain electrolyte water fingers crossed it keeps getting better! Thank you all so much for your guidance...

    Dog attack injury

    Yes of course, that's how I've got it set up l at the moment, I was just worried she'd get dehydrated or something and make recovery more difficult in the first day or two Thank you again for all your help you're very kind, it really means a lot❤️

    Dog attack injury

    I've got her in a small cage at the moment because it's all I had on short notice so not too much room to walk around, however she does stand up and do some steps. I will be moving her into a large dog crate tomorrow. She seems quite stressed out still like when I try to offer her food/water she...

    Dog attack injury

    I've managed to get meloxicam from a neighbour, from my understanding that is a better option in this case? Any tips on the best way to administer it? She's not interested in food or drink that much, I think she's in pain😢

    Dog attack injury

    Will keep an eye on it. So in case of infection/pus to flush with peroxide, what % hydrogen peroxide is recommended in that case? And regarding pain relief, as stated above aspirin is an option however I'm not 100% sure about internal bleeding that's why I asked previously how obvious that would...

    Dog attack injury

    I realise we've made a mistake but after seeing her insides and her bleeding so much we panicked and closed the wound as best as we could. Thank you for the advice, will keep that in mind for the future (hopefully won't need it again though). Any advice on pain relief, what and if I can give her...

    Dog attack injury

    She's in a dog crate in my walk in wardrobe so don't think any flies will get to her thankfully. I don't think we have Neosporin in australia? I've got betadine on hand if that would be okay instead, I'm really not sure. Also any tips/info on pain relief for her?

    Dog attack injury

    Thank you for sharing that. They are resilient little creatures aren't they! I just wish I wasn't so squeamish about that type of stuff, luckily I've got help around so it still gets done.

    Dog attack injury

    Im sorry to hear about your birds, it's awful when something like that happens😞 wish you all the best in the future! I really hope so too, she only just recently became part of the flock along with her sister, they are 2 very special girls, last few survivors of a very good bloodline...lady that...

    Dog attack injury

    You could see her insides so we panicked and quickly closed it up...I will most definitely keep that in mind and if it (fingers crossed it doesn't ) happens again will not make the same mistake. I hope we haven't messed up too badly by closing it up. I sincerely appreciate your input, it made me...

    Dog attack injury

    I will keep checking on her and see how we go from there. I will try ring regular vets for antibiotics if it comes to that and try work something out. Thank you for all your advice

    Dog attack injury

    She's alive this morning, she hasn't had any food but I believe she might have had some electrolyte water to drink. I will try dip her beak in it and/or do the dropper to the mouth method later to keep her more hydrated. Is it a good sign that she's still alive and hasn't passed from shock over...

    Dog attack injury

    We use the spray on our horses usually so that's what we had on hand. No, the gamebird starter I have for my quails but I know extra protein is good for when chickens need help recovering from things so I mixed it with water to make a mash. I've put a poultry electrolyte solution in her water...

    Dog attack injury

    Oh no that's horrible. Thanks for the advice, I will get right onto that now. It's okay just to put it in her water or is it better to syringe feed her some? I'm scared of the syringe method, don't want her to aspirate
