Thank you! Yes it's a God send to have a loving and caring community to turn to in times like these! And yeah, he looks like half a chicken, poor guy! I should've mentioned in the original post the trick for getting him to take his med willingly.. I stuffed the tablet in a grape(which he...
Wanted to provide an update...my big boy is doing well...I had him on a course of amoxicillin for the 7 days following the attack and alternated bluekote and veterycin(still using the veterycin). Most of his feathers have came through, hoping he grows back his beautiful tail(he had just...
No, I'm getting some today for myself...cough cough...I don't know what else to do, I can't take him to the vet and I can't wait for something to ship to me...you may have luck going to a fish store/pet store or calling around to some to see if they have the fish-mox or aqua-mox. Sending...
Ok, so I was unable to get pics, cause he was so freaked out and I was trying to be quick...I sprayed everything down with vetyricin and he does have a pretty deep gash, I laid a strip of Neosporin in his big wound and put it everywhere else I could manage. He's messing with his feathers back...
I will try to post some pics and a bit of an update tomorrow when I have light. He is locked up and safe for now...I did get him to eat some scrambled eggs off of a plate I held up to him. The goofball still jumped on his roost, I wish he would just lay in his straw but I'm sure he feels safer...
Thank you, we now have him in the coop, I'm going out to inspect him, pretty sure he has a pretty deep gash which I'm gonna attempt to flush with saline and coat with Neosporin and then see about getting the antibiotics, thank you for your help
Okay, I have vetyricin and Neosporin, do u think I should try to get some antibiotics to prevent infection and if so is there a way to get them without going through a vet?
I can't tell for sure cause he won't let me get close to him, he doesn't appear to be like actively bleeding. I'm thinking he may have some damage under his right wing...when my husband gets home, I'm hoping he can get him and I will try to get some more pics...I do see some blood on his wing...
My big boy Remus was attacked by a dog(some sort of husky) this morning....it was horrible, all caught on my ring camera. My daughter and I went out into the woods following the feathers and by some miracle heard him out there clucking...we kept hollering for him and now he's in the yard kind...
