hi all! today my duck Pickles managed to get in a tussle with a rat. i'm not exactly sure what transpired, but i was alerted to a loud honk and found her standing near the entrance/exit of a small rat hole near her coop. judging by her injury, it seems she was likely poking around in there and...
hi all!
A while back we discovered a tiny scab on the neck of my chicken. We treated it with aluspray but she kept scratching at it. Now it looks like this. Her neck and face is all swollen and she keeps scratching. We put bandages on it and that seemed to help a little bit. We decided to air...
TLDR: Neighbours dog attacked main hen, open wounds, very weak leg. Medical question: what can I put on the cuts? I have Dermadine on hand, is that safe?
Hi everyone.
With a heavy heart I come asking for advice post-dog attack. Neighbours dog got into our yard and killed one of our hens and...
My little Americauna, Julia, got attacked by a Pitt bull Friday morning. The rest of the day she hid from me and tried to stay in the dark. I switched her food to Medicated Chick Starter feed from Manna Pro and giving her lots of water. I have some antibiotics and pain reliever from my other...
Hey, so basically my cockerel got into a fight with the big rooster and he's sustained quite a few injuries, any recommendations on how best to treat him?
he's been really low energy.

I was cleaning out the coop this morning and noticed one of my ducks sitting in the corner (the rest were all outside). I picked her up and the skin on her back and all of her feathers was gone. Her sibling (another buff) had the same. Picture is below, warning to those who are squeamish.
My...
The wound is located on the back of her head, she has another smaller injury near the side of her face. I believe the cause was my older turkey hen.
The wound itself is small, but it does seem pretty deep. I cant tell if it's bad or not since I don't have experience with these injuries.

I have a chicken with a pretty deep wound. I isolated her and rinsed her wound out with saline. I am spraying her with Banixx too. She keeps trying to pick at it so I am considering putting a child shirt on her to prevent her pecking at it. The wound is towards the end of her wing near her tail...
I have 19 5 week old Buff Orpington chicks and this morning I found one that was bleeding with the other chicks pecking at the wounded area. I removed her from the pen they're currently in (about 3ft x 6ft, and will be expanded again soon until they can be moved to the outside run/coop) and am...
So basically yesterday morning I woke up to find a random chick in with my girls, one of these sneak clutch moments, and clearly the poor thing had been stamped and/or pecked, because they have a few cuts and wounds. Fresh fresh baby. I managed to stem the bleeding from the ones they have around...
