Can I use this as pain relief for my chicken? **URGENT**

[crunchygranola]

Sorry for the weird angles. Was holding her up with one hand and taking photos with the other.

Is that the same side as the leg injury?

 

[crunchygranola]

Yeah. It’s all on the left side.

 

[ChicNmom]

It looks a little more swollen than the other side. She could have a sprain from fighting to get away or a bit of a muscle/tendon injury from the puncture wound on her thigh. The lower part doesn't look like a break to me. But there could be something further up her leg.

I would gently feel each leg. starting at the hips and moving down. If you can do both legs at the same time it will help you notice if something is different.

You have a 3 page ongoing thread about the hen and her injuries.

You have had good suggestions and responses.

It can take days/weeks for a bird to begin recovery from attack, injury and for wounds to heal.
Please give her some time to rest and work through shock.

Sorry about that.
I’m just stressing— I’ve never had this happen before and I’m new to this kind of thing. Thank you everyone for your help.

I understand, I know it's stressful, but it's a good idea to continue with an existing thread so everyone is on the same page and all your information and posts are in the same place.

It's not against the rules or anything to start multiple threads.

No worries.

 

[ChicNmom]

No worries. Most of us have panic posted at some point.

I posted on your other thread.
