Yes, she was unable to provide pictures of the rooster’s feet in the beginning. I posted pictures of what frost bite looks like. Somewhere here in this thread, you can see a pic of the rooster’s feet with the crop wound.

Other than withholding food again from now until tomorrow am to let the crop rest again tonight, I’m out of ideas for now.

Have you cleaned the wound today?

Do you live with your parents Ellie? Would they let you take him to a vet just to get his crop stitched up?

Do you have any grownup friends or neighbors who are nurses, PA’s, vet techs, or a peer who hopes of being a medical worker or vet someday?
Someone who might want to give it a shot.

A horse vet or dog vet could sew up a crop. It might make a difference if he lives or not. If his crop is constantly leaking, then he probably is not getting the food and water that he is taking in. This has been going on since last Friday, and now it is Tuesday night, and his crop is still open and leaking. Do you have family that could help out?

 

[ejtrout31]

I don’t know of anyone that can help he hasn’t leaked until I gave him real food.
