HELP HELP HELP...post crop surgery chicken w/ greenish blue skin

[Creativedogma]

Post crop surgery & my poor chicken's skin looks bad. She is on penicilin & topical antibiotic (was neosporin, just switched to bactroban/mupirocin).

She is eating & drinking. Eating more than drinking. Pooping regular along with watery. Feeding probiotic mash, applesace.

Her skin looks awful.

It looks worse beneath the skin.
Any suggestions?????

how many days post op is this?

 

[Creativedogma]

First surgery was 8 days ago, but had to re-open her wednesday(3 days ago) because the crop incision sight had adheared to the exterior incision sight. I was informed that that she be re-opened.

I wish I had never re-opened her.

Poor girl..................

DO NOT FEED ANY GRAINS JUST
BREAD AND MILK FOR TWO DAYS THEN THE WET MASH PROBIOTIC
as the grains make the surgery problem more futile

I can't understand what the resurgery was about?

I always just took the crop flesh and the outside skin dlesh and whip stitched it together
it never did harm the bird

you need to be putting pure Iodine twice daily on the insicion and keeping it so that she is not with other chickens

the Iodine is very important to the chickens healing
and the dark skin as you call it is blood dried from the operation

looking at it DID YOU GET ALL THE FLESH TOGETHER FOR THE LAST STICHING?

WHEN i DID IT THERE WAS NO BUBLY FACTOR IN SIGHT

i ALWAYS ENDED UP WITH JUST THE SKIN WITH OUT THE FEATHERS

the chicken wouuld have had two skins to gather up and stitch

maybe you need to buy those things they put as suture tight across the insicion

also do use the Iodine pure on the sore

are you feeding the wet mash probiotic with vit's?

I would start with the Vit E and Vit B complex with wet mash

A)
chickens do get some upset in the gut with E.coli and then it goes toa nervous disorder
natural probiotic wet mash with Vit E and Vit B complex added immediately

(1) 2 tbsp per gallon of water till chickens are well and then 2 times a week for life
for one chicken use 1 tbsp of ACV
1 pint of water
(2 immediately give the chicken 1000 mg capsule of liquid Vit E by cutting the end of the capsule and taking the vit E liquid and mix in wet mash probiotic

(2-B) total amt of capsules equals the total amt of chickens fed vit's multiply amt of recipe times amt of chickens fed it and the amt of vit's times amt of chicken given them

(3 also need to crush a vit B complex pill in tabsp and add tsp of water to it
put it in the chicken wet mash after it is disolved

(3-C) then give this to the chicken twice a week for two weeks should see much improvement

(4 Do both Vit's twice today then for 7 days till you see some improvement in the chicken

(5 today I would see if the chicken will eat a wet mash with the Vitamins E and B complex
JUST MAKE 1/2 OF THE WET MASH GIVEN HERE FIRST TIME WITH THE VIT'S

(-B) THIS IS FOR ONE CHICKEN
natural probiotic wet mash
2 tbp of dry crumbles
3 tbp of milk sweet, sour or buttermilk
1 tbsp of non flavored yogurt
2 tbsp of apple sauce
put it on top so the chicken can smell and see it
mix good and put the
vit E liquid as directed in the wet mash
and crumble the Vit B complex tablet in a tabsp and add to the wet mash
**BESURE AND MIX VIT'S VERY GOOD IN WET MASH***

(6 Do this twice a day for 7 days to see if the chicken is better
then do this once a day for another week then once a week for a while
this should give the nervous system some stability and cure the bad E.coli in the gut

(6-A) she should clean it up in 20-30 minutes

(7 you can email by PM for more information and include this info so I remember what
also if you go to the top of your PC you will see the first line and that is the URL for your post
just copy it and email it back to me so I can read it for a update



this will help her get good gut flora
also put 2 tbsp of ACV in gallon of water and keep giving them this water for a week straight
then give it 3-5 times a week for life

I work for a human surgeon and we always tell our patients to let the surgical site dry... NO Neosporin or topical ointment... iodine is good to clean it with as is soap and water... Hope she gets better!

Aren't chicken bruises usually green? (for real). I would agree to let it dry out a bit- it needs to get a nice scab on it. Good luck!

Agree. The wound site is too wet. The wetness causes the skin to macerate, inviting further tissue disruption and infection. Needs to be clean and dry.

Im not a poultry surgeon but I agree - clean it off and let the tissue get some air. DS had surgery this past year. We kept the site clean and unbandaged. I put neo on it twice a day just to keep it somewhat soft. A year later his 8 inch incision on the neck is barely noticible and he had no post op issues.
