thank you everyone for your help! she’s doing so much better!

good morning!! i just checked her wound again and it’s already looking a bit better. no longer oozing!

it’s hard to see in the pics… there’s the initial wound which you can see, then under a flap of skin there’s a hole that looks like it may go pretty deep. that hole is small though and i was able to flush it out well.

that’s what i saw some other people saying, and that sounds about right. do you know if i should keep the wound moist or not? i saw mixed answers on that…

all of you guys have been such great help already! i cant belive how quickly y’all responded :love

small update, since i can see the wound better now. the wound itself is green, but has zero smell which i assume is good ? flushed it out and gave her some antibiotics.

that’s what i just did, i tried to pull them out of the wound but it just wasn’t working :(:(

i had some in my house so i’m using that. no maggots, i think i caught her too quickly for them to lay

i can do that. also found some chlorhexidine :thumbsup

alchohol and bactine. i’m going to the store tomorrow for some better stuff and i have a friend bringing over amoxicillin and electrolytes. what do you reccomend?

it’s pretty clogged with feathers that i’m afraid to remove because everytime i try, they take away a bunch of flesh with them. (the bandage is holding her broken wing to her body) the wound is on her breastbone.

also concerning, is that the other wounds have scabbed and closed, but this one is constantly wet and open

my hen was attacked by something the other night, likely a fox or dog. her wing is broken and she has quite a few wounds. the largest, being a puncture wound, is infected and oozing green pus even though i’ve been disenfecting it quite a few times daily. i’m worried about how bad it could get...
