Yogurt with probiotics in it.
Flock Raiser also has probiotics in it but I'm going to ramp it up and put poultry probiotics in their daily mash.

Hopefully that will take care of it!

I'll admit, working on that was difficult for me. I got faint at one point and knelt next to her with my head on the floor until it passed.
I've been putting Nu-Stock on it in the morning and triple antibiotic ointment on at night. I'll continue this and the twice a week soaking, scrubbing and picking until she's healed.
I'm so relieved that I think she'll make it now!

You did a great job on her Wow looking better and better

Rain in sheets driven by a strong wind. Soaked in seconds.
This lot moved in just before the rain. I'm still trying to work out how I was still outside.

I’m confused. I thought the rain in Spain stayed mainly on the plain.

Wonder what caused that?
Gnarly!

@DobieLover Try adding some Vitamin A+E to her food, as this will help to regenerate the mucosa. Grated carrots (A) with germ oil (E) will help or artificial supplements.

I think she may have had vent gleet. I'm not sure but that's why I've been giving her yogurt. She is also molting VERY slowly maybe causing prolonged stress. I just don't know.

I guess your concern for Sour was valid

Concern for me is always appreciated. Rest assured that I have some heavy duty guardian angels.

And one of them even learning to ring the bell(s)!

That looks way better, Tonya! How is Seneca as a patient? She's lucky you're so dedicated.

She's pretty good but is getting wise to me when I'm out to catch her. But she's being a good sport about it! Most of them will tolerate a lot for a chance at some raisins.

I had another mild panic tonight at lock up and head count. The ALL important head count...
Tonk was missing. One of my Gold Sebright pullets. As I've mentioned I've not allowed the flock out of their enclosure since the blizzard. I couldn't find her anywhere in the coop or run. As I called her from inside the run I thought I could hear scrabbling outside the coop. I found her close to the same spot I found Sarge last winter; on top of the run roof under the coop roof overhang. It was a bear getting her down with the snow banks so close to the walls.
The little dink must have snuck out when I was getting Seneca for her treatment.
