THANK YOU TOOKIE!!! Good. One side still has a couple small places that are not totally healed.. one on the outside of the toe and one up a little higher at ankle. But i believe he is doing something to himself there .. it looks like he is catching the quills on something because those 2...
Thank you for asking. He is doing much better! Still areas that are red..but not angry red. Think it is just because the scales are gone in those areas of the legs. One foot is almost completely healed and the worst one looks good as well with just 2 small areas that still look like they...
Medicine finally arrived this afternoon.
Do i open the capsule and sprinkle the powder in his mouth?? Does he get the entire 250mg dose of 1 capsule?
Thank you so very much.... you gals on here are life savers for all the gals and roos that have flock mama's that are clueless!! And if i...
Thank you.. we still are not sure how he was injured? Feet and up the outside of each leg. Our grandson told us last sunday something we didnt know? That when he came by with his friend the late afternoon of the 9th .. that he was petting our boy
And When his friend walked our roo...
Would love to have some opinions about what i need to do for him now!
One thing we have learned from this is... if hubby comes towards him... he cackles and keeps moving just out of arms reach... hahaha. Cause daddy gets him and brings him to me to do treatments. Hahaha
But the weird thing...
This may be the best for the bump i referred to... there are 2 black feather spots and a dry patch ... maybe can see that there is a lump in that area as well.
LEFT LEG. this is the side that had blood feathers. You can enlarge to see hopefully. This foot had begun to look dry in places and thinking it could be epsom salt i started putting spray on it and then triple antibiotic on the dry areas to put a greasy salve on it. One pic shows an area that...
RIGHT LEG - looks much better than the other one. He had just soaked 20 minutes and been blow dried, so may look a little more red than before soak. This one has began putting these little quills out and it must hurt because he does NOT like me touching any part of it. Azygous on original...
Let me begin with a full pic... my boy always wants to be camera shy ... but i think you can possibly enlarge to see his feet/legs yesterday. He is not standing tall... he was begging for me to give him a treat in my hand and win i grabbed the phone he moved back and began giving me that NO NO...
About to post pics from last night. Have been happy with his progress until last couple days... some areS are very red again and one spot that is very hard to see being in his only feet feathers left there is a bump... doesnt seem to be an abcess.. it hasnt changed in days and is not warm...
This morning when i soaked i paid close attn to how it looked before soaking. It is not nearly as red before soaking plus the blow drying on lowest setting unless i go air only .. also contributes to it looking more angry than before treatment. I will get a pic to show what i mean then you let...
Please let me know if i need to do anything differently. . We do want him to be well! Is it time to say this was not leg mites? Or is it still suspicious? I just dont know how mites could do this much damage in normal looking leg and 24 hours later i notice a bloody mess??? Thanks to...
This is now and before of the leg and foot that had the blood feathers that kept wanting to drip again when touching at all for soaking or medicating. This looks much better, even some of the broken bent quill pins are beginning to stand out again instead of being crushed down against leg.
Tried to put before and now together?? Not all the pics were great tonight ... it got dark and he was begging to go inside the coop! He could hear sounds from the girls and he really wanted to be done!! Hahaha. But he had already soaked, blow dried, and legs been sprayed down. So in the...
It is so special of you to ask about our boy! He is continuing to look better. The only place that still looks bad is the most swollen area at the foot/leg that was so swollen where his feathers were. Of course all cleaning, medicating etc i do very gently and you could always tell how sore...
Tha
Thank you so much for asking! I am glad he got the epsom salt soaks and the antibiotic ointment right away because i did not have on hand what our chix guru's told me to do, but i think by doing that it prevented bad infection until i could get what i needed! Last night was the first time...
Thank you. The coop is very clean .. just 10 days ago we scraped the bottom clean. Put in 3 inches of sand topped with 3 inches of pine shavings. My roost has the table catcher under it so the heavy night time droppings are easily scooped out daily. It still smells very good in there so far...
