Here is a pretty short simple video on nail trimming:

The pictures of the eyes are interesting. I cannot remember reading earlier, but do you know why they are blind, or have you had Mareks in the flock?

I like Valbazen as a wormer. It treats most chicken worms with one dose of 1/2 ml and then you should repeat it in 10-14 days to get the worm larvae. For more exact dosage if you have bantams or large roosters, give 0.08 ml per pound. Many stores sell it, but not TSC. Here is a link for online...

I‘m glad you had it taken care of. I never get out of the vet’s office for less that $300-400 anymore for just one animal. But we love them when we need them, and they have saved a few of our dogs over the years.

I would reach and pull any dried poop off, and trim any poopy feathers. I don’t bathe chickens, especially in cold weather. There is no danger of fly strike in winter and as long as she can poop, she will be alright. I would really check that dog’s eye well for any punctures into the eyeball...

When I have a chicken in a crate, since water is spilled easily, I use a large plastic coffee can kept filled near the top. It is heavy, and hard to spill if placed on the floor away from pine shavings or bedding. She might be able to smell the water and find it there. The food can go in a...

That looks pretty good actually. The green skin is bruising. It looks like it is starting to granulate or fill in. Keep up the Neosporin ointment twice a day. Is she eating and drinking normally?

The vitamins are fine, but they are in the electrolyte mix. Electrolytes may cause diarrhea, and antibiotics when started may also cause diarrhea. I would continue the probiotics in the water which help the gut during and after antibiotics. Stop the electrolytes. Give some vitamin B complex for...

X3 Neosporin. Is the amoxicillin going to be the oral kind?

There are some videos online of giving chickens IM injections. They seem long since the chicken usually gets lose and the owner has to chase them, but this one is fairly accurate:

Most antibiotics can be given orally as long as the chicken is alert and can swallow. What drug does your vet want to give? If it is Baytril or something like that, oral works well. And Injectable baytril is routinely given orally. If you absolutely have to give an injection, we will help you...

Neosporin ointment should be applied twice a day to the wound.

If the wound is deep, then antibiotics may be good. The OP has clindamycin. Dosage is 5 mg per pound given twice a day. It is usually for more serious wounds such as bone infections, and probably is not the best choice for skin wounds. Here is a thread about antibiotics and usage including...

I just usually don’t recommend antibiotics for wounds unless they are puncture wounds. Usually cleaning the wound or spraying with .Vetericyn along with antibiotic ointment are enough. But since you have them, you can give the antibiotics if you want to. I don’t know dosage for chickens. My 10...

Medicam dosage is 0.25 mg per pound twice a day. Do you know how much she weighs? I would not use any antibiotics at this time unless you discover any puncture wounds. Is she eating or drinking? Electrolytes in the water can be helpful is she is not eating or in shock...

The Vetricyn wound spray wound be good to use to clean it, and then keep it covered with the Neosporin Ointment twice a day. It should heal okay in a month or more. Does she seem like she has any neck injury or other problems?
