A while ago I posted about one of my roosters, HeiHei, having HORRIBLE frostbite on his feet that got to the point where all the frost-bitten scales had fallen off and bled everywhere in the coop and run. Well, it hasn’t been getting any better—in fact it’s now worse. The scales between the toes (like where a duck would have webbing on its feet) is red and frostbiten now, and he can walk but he is in lots of pain when he does. He goes to eat and drink but when he gets there he does it laying down.
I already know the frostbite is horrible and for sure frostbite, so I won’t put pictures on this unless somebody REALLY wants them...but I’m scared that everything will just fall off and bleed like crazy and I hate seeing him hobble around all the time, then laying in the snow so I have to pick him up or else he’ll freeze.
It’ll be finally over freezing this weekend, but I’m pretty sure that means it’ll be rainy too, since that’s what it has been like lately.
Any help or advice on what to do to save him without having to re-integrate or coddle him so much that he needs permanent support alone in the house, where he would then be stuck until it warmed up outside—which doesn’t seem to be happening soon.
