I rescued a Muscovy hen today. She has had severly frostbitten feet for 6+ weeks and had been living out in below freezing weather with lots of snow in an open carport. She was barely walking and using her wings to propel herself around. I brought her home and put her in a warm bath. She loved it! As I was drying her off her left foot fell off. Bled a little. I put triple antibiotic ointment on her and bandaged it up. Her other foot is dark and pretty stiff too. I think she may lose it too. I am keeping her in a Rubbermaid tote until I can get a kennel for her. She is eating waterfowl pellets and mealworms and drinking. Is there something else I should do for her? I do have Terra-Vet 10 tetracycline hydrochloride powder. Should I give her some? I will keep her in the house until she is fully healed and give her daily warm baths before I introduce her to my duck pair. Thank you for any help/suggestions.
