Here's a better pic.

Here's a pic. I saw others say I ought to slather the full thickness tear with neosporin ointment daily. A Facebook poultry group member just suggested I have to let it dry out to scab. I am nt sure which way is better. I have neosporin, veterocydin, and BluKote on hand. (Tough spot to bandage...

I've had this hen isolated nearby the flock in a dog cage. I've been giving 250mg amoxicillin 2-3x/day. Spraying VeteraCidin 1-2x/day and covering the neck wound with neosporin 1x/day. I also spray the minor wounds and bare skin with BluKote in case she breaks out into the general population (7...

I can get Amoxicillin 250 mg capsules in an hour. She is ~3kg. Should I give 2 or 3x/day? I am figuring that the formula of 125mg/kg 2x/day for a 3kg bird works out more neatly with giving 250mg 3x/day. Is this reasonable? I still don't know how to get it in her! Come up with a tastier treat...

I mixed cepahlexin in wet cat food. 50mg x 5# x4 =1000mg/day split into 4 doses. Shes not taking the bait. How do I coax or force an antibiotic into her. I don't have a lot of cephalexin. What's the dose for Amoxicillin? I can get that.

She's got quite a lot of energy and fight in her today. Not the best chicken Handler, but I was able to give her a thorough examination today. I clipped a few feathers that would get stuck in the neck wound healing, with suture cutting scissors, rinsed with disinfecting contact solution, and...

Thank you! This is excellent advice. I have a few follow-up questions. Wound irrigation. I assume it would wash downward subcutaneously. Perhaps the skin is better connected to the muscle layer further away from the wound, but it appeared to be Gliding Over the muscle with ease. Can you tell me...

At 1 a.m. tonight I interrupted some kind of animal attack. Likely raccoon. I was late in closing up the coop. My hen was squawking and laying still outside. She was missing a lot of feathers in a few areas, but the only serious wound was on the back of her neck. (See picture.) Initially sprayed...
