Great call on leaving her with the flock. I noticed that she seemed much more relaxed when I moved her outside today with the other girls. I put her in a small dog crate with food and water and some chips at the bottom and she seems content to be with the other members. I changed her dressing today and cleaned the wound by using chlorhexidine and water mixture on a sterile Gaul pad and patted the area. I then packed it filled with neosporin and put some ointment on the Gauls and stuck it to her with some bandage wrap. I let her walk around in the run for a few minutes so she had some sense of normalcy. Thank you guys for all of your help! She has a vet appt tomorrow at 5:30 and I hope they prescribe her some antibioticsDon’t use peroxide anymore, since it can damage tissue. 2% Chlorhexidene, weak betadine, saline, or a wound spray, such as Vetericyn or Theracyn with hydrogel are all good to use on the wound. Apply plain Neosporin or Triple Antibiotic Ointment twice a day to the wound. She she heal fine eventually. I would separate her in a dog crate with food and water but leave her inside the coop with her flock.
