Hello
I discovered my chicken has somehow managed to cut the corner of her mouth and beak I have been washing it everyday with saline and antiseptic and flushing it out I have been keeping her seperste from the others and been keeping her in a clean environment to stop infection she's on antibiotics
But I'm worried it's not going to heal properly or it will scar
Can I glue the skin together I have been doing alot of research and some people glue there chicken beak to repair them but this is not just the beak

She's eating and drinking well and dosent seem to be dribbling but she is in pain so been giving her pain relief
Will this need surgery
We don't have an avian vet near us and the other vets are very expensive
I need some advice please thankyou

I've glued upper beaks, but doubt that it is possible with that injury. Since she is eating and drinking I would continue with your present husbandry regimen and monitor. Good luck.
 
Thankyou for your replies she seems to be doing really well
I keep checking in on her and she does keep trying to smack her tounge to it
Must be so painful it's quite deep as well which I'm concerned about
It felt a little hot earlier but im hoping the antibiotics have started to kick in and will help that she's still laying too
Fingers crossed 🤞😟
