    Quote: DH held her yesterday for me. I'll try the "tenting" today. If I don't feel better about it after today's dose, then I will for sure take you up on your offer!

    PLEASE HELP! Bantam hen with swollen wattles *PICS* update*

    Update for Thursday: Little Chicken seems to have much less swelling in the wattles and neck. Though they are quite gray/purple. She wanted out of the kennel this morning. So she's been walking around the house a bit. Not really interested in eating, even treats. She acts like maybe it...

    PLEASE HELP! Bantam hen with swollen wattles *PICS* update*

    Just gave Little Chicken her first dose of Tylan. I was not good at giving a shot. It took me 3 tries. She did NOT like it. Her wattles are slightly less swollen and she really wants to be out of the kennel. She's very talkative. That's an improvement. I don't know if something had bitten...

    Thank you so much for the information. Also about where to inject. I've never given anything a shot before. I am nervous about that part for sure. Heading out to Tractor Supply to get the Tylan 50.

    Luckily there is a Tractor Supply about 15 minutes away. I am just overwhelmed trying to figure out what and how much to give her. She's a tiny little thing. Any idea the dosage for a bantam?

    PLEASE HELP! Bantam hen with swollen wattles *PICS* update*

    I've seen lots of posts about putting baby aspirin in their water for pain. I just couldn't find a specific dosage, especially for a bantam. Most of the posts I can find about swollen wattles are due to frostbite, but it's been in the 90's, so no frostbite.

    My husband found our little bantam hen on the roost this morning looking like this. She had a small area of matted feathers on the side of her head that we cleaned up. We thought there was a wound underneath, but could only find swollen purple skin. She is in a lot of pain. We have put a...
