My hen was, I believe, scratched by a possum the other night (Friday). She had a small amount of blood under her eye, so I cleaned her up and watched it. Today she was fine when I let her out for the day, but I just checked her and the side of her face opposite the scratch is really swollen. She is otherwise normal. Eating well, plenty of energy etc. I’d like to treat it myself as there is no poultry vet anywhere close. Please tell me this is something that can be fixed
