Raptor was trying to "dust bath" in my carpet today, it was super cute. And my cat thinks she has a baby sister, they shared a snack today lol...

Incredible recovery!!! I have learned so much from this thread. Amazing job, Raptor (and Raptorchick )

They both look so great! You've done a great job, thank you for keeping this thread updated with pictures and text. Like honanbm said, this has been a very informative thread and really helps me feel more prepared if I ever have an issue like this with my chickens.

Pics of Raptor, day 14, medihoney gauze & gel treatment day 4. After this pic I removed the black scab in the center, it was looking like the new tissue was trying to heal over it xp it came off real easy tho, pink tissue underneath.

I bought these chicken diapers awhile ago, when I had crazy chicken fever lol... they failed miserably, as diapers, my bantam roo hated it lol. But I think I found a way to protect her nub, when it comes time to let her back out And it gives her feathers a break from the adhesive vet wrap going around her body, she can't reach her bandages underneath it.

Work called me in early, I'll have pics of Duchess tomorrow

@Raptorchick i am so thouroughly amazed at your skills and calmness with dealing with a situation this extreme. I give u a round of applause and many well wishes for you, and of course her, to heal up properly. I know i would have been in WAY over my head if one of my feather babies suffered such an injury. Cudos to you

X3 I am utterly amazed at this. I’m just so impressed

I don’t get alerts so I keep forgetting about this thread. But good grief she is too freakin cute! What a champ! It’s so satisfying to see how they’ve come from the brink. You’re amazing

Hi all I had a couple of crazy days, but here's the latest. Raptor tore off her bandages and the scabs 2 days ago, that sucked, I was afraid of infection but it's healing good as ever. That Betadine is really working I ran out of honey, so I've used sugar/Neosporin the last two days, till my medihoney arrives. You can see Raptors adult feathers coming through, the bottom pic is Duchess yesterday. All my thanks again

That’s so awesome. I just went through this whole post with my husband and we were geeking out together. This post is my new poster girl for betadine/sugar/honey wound care lol. You’re an awesome owner and Raptor is one lucky gal!
