Thank yo



Help! The bardrock picked the scab off.

No blood. It looks more smooth then the original wound. She has feathers coming back in . . The amoxicillin is here. Should I use it?

She picked a lot off!

I would reclean it with Chlorhexidine. Did you have Vetericyn spray? With it being so "fresh" then triple antibiotic ointment is going to be hard to apply. If you don't have those, I think I would just spray with the Chlorhexidine, let it air dry, then once a scab forms, start applying the triple antibiotic ointment again.
If she's picking at it, then you don't really have a choice but to try to cover it. A toddler t-shirt may work.
If you end up using gauze and wrap, I would try to get some nonstick pads, but it's in a place that's going to be hard to wrap, a saddle or t-shirt may be better and let more air to the wound as well.

You can give the Amoxicillin if you wish. Dose is 57mg per pound of weight given orally twice a day for 10-14 days.

Ok. I just washed the saddle I have. I'll get it done. Thank you so much!

Update. All are still doing well eatting drinking talking, growing new feathers quickly. Staring at me like (what is this crazy lady going to strap me into next.) The one outside has been a little clingy. But I make sure to give extra love. I did not end up using antibiotic.

Everything is good here. I have moved my injured babs outside. They are all happy to be out. Scabs are almost completely gone.

Glad to hear things are going well!
Thank you for the update.
