My 13 week old pullet got her leg caught and ended up breaking it. We splinted it the first few days but when changing her bandaging we noticed her foot looks really swollen and her toes look dark. I have been soaking it in a warm Epsom salt bath and putting bacitracin on it. She has been isolated in a rabbit cage since it happened. She is eating and drinking well and seems to be able to use her wing to shift around to get to her food and water or reposition herself. I’m not sure what else we can do and I don’t know what her prognosis will be. This happened last Sunday so it’s almost been a week. I have a vet appointment this Wednesday night. Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks for any advice you can give. Below are two pictures of her hurt foot. It was hard to get a photo by myself while holding her.
