Our White Leghorn young rooster suffered from frost bite two nights ago. His comb and wattles were affected -- especially his wattles which are quite swollen. I have been applying Neosporin to his comb and wattles and he has been taken out of our barn and placed into our garage in an x-pen with a heat light and a pet carrier. He is unable to eat due to the swelling (I assume) so I have been giving him cooked oatmeal mixed with either romaine lettuce or apples cut up very small. I place the mixture inside his beak and he swallows it.
My question is for anyone who has gone through this before. Am I doing everything possible to help "Lawrence"? Should I be doing something else?
Thank you so much for any information you can give me.
