(Airehead's mom here) The roo seems to be healing, miraculously. Fascia is forming over the more superficial area toward the rear, and all the exposed tissue is a healthy pink. There's no icky smell or exudate (I did wound care in a hospital PT dept for 3yr-- can you tell?) and the bird is eating, drinking, pooping and being ornery. He's actually quite still and sweet while we clean and treat him each day. We've put him outside in a wire ex-pen (screens on top) in a clean area, for socialization and fresh (HOT!) air for a few hours. The dog crate he's been in has been moved to the barn so we can sleep a bit longer in the morning (you try sleeping when there's a roo crowing in your garage!). Anyone know if granulex would be applicable in this case? (and where to find it these days-- it was hard to get when I worked at the vet) Thanks for everyone's support, suggestions and encouragement.
