Update: He spent all day inside in a dog kennel with regular food/water since I wasn’t home to fix him up anything else.
After my husband got off work I had him help hold while I looked at the wound again it actually looked a lot better not being fresh.
I trimmed away some feathers but my scissors suck and I gave up.
I attempted to pull out all the feathers stuck in the wound (not pull from the skin but just remove them from the wound) but 1 remained after all my efforts and I was wanting to cause the least amount of harm and stress.
I used Iodine diluted with purified bottled water (luckily this is something I’ve made 1000x in the vet industry so I know the right shade which is light tea color for anyone reading this that doesn’t know) and I had a sterile syringe to administer it into the wound. I used a sterile gauze square to try and debride the wound (mostly trying to get the feather out - pro tip dry gauze works best for getting those pesky hairs/feathers out as they stick to it well) and then used it to catch any falling solution so I didn’t soak the floor or him.
I then used a ton of Triple Antibiotic (with NO pain meds in it) to cover the full extent of the wound which is roughly the size of a quarter to half dollar somewhere in the middle.
We set him down for me to take a photo but his feathers conceal it once he’s set down so I opened the feather curtains and applied more triple antibiotic just to make sure we had all our bases covered.
I changed his plain water out to electrolyte water - but should I still offer plain in addition to that?
I made him some scrambled eggs and when whisking them I added whole vitamin D milk cause that’s always how I see my husband make them
I don’t eat scrambled so I figured more protein wouldn’t hurt.
He ate maybe 4-6 pecks while my daughter also helped herself to his plate
it was pretty cute seeing them share.
He seems to be in a bit of pain as any bite victim would be but he was a trooper for his cleaning. I read diluting aspirin down in the drinking water would be okay once all bleeding stops is this something that is necessary? Or only for brutal attacks?
From what I can tell this is the only puncture. I think he just got caught in the front teeth and his fragile skin ripped. Nothing internal looks damaged.
I wish birds could handle hydrotherapy as I’ve seen so many great recoveries in just 2-3 days on skin/muscle in dogs.
I’m just hoping to get him past the shock phase since my daughter *I feel* is stressing him with her normal 1.5yr old personality. Her skreeching, stomping and frolicking are obviously a bit much for him even with him being in the furthest room from her.
I would add an updated photo but it didn’t not come out well and I didn’t want to keep handling him to try and get a better one.
I wish I kept my chux pads from when I had a home birth 
Much easier to toss then have to launder 2 towels. 
I've had all 4 of my kids at home. Amazing experience! 
The idea of having to deliver in a hospital is dreadful and stressful. Hopefully I never have a need for it.
that’s really what sealed the deal for me. I loved my midwife too - she delivered my husbands younger siblings as an unofficial midwife at the time but was best friends with his mom. Home births are where it’s at
