I have a chick that has a 2 1/2 inch gash at it's backside & this sounds gross but I can see it's intestine through a hole that has been pecked on near it's tail. I saw another chick pecking it.
I'm not sure exactly how it happened. Chickens can sure be vicious to one another. I'm not sure how to clean it up, I've seen tiny pieces of the bedding material in the wound. Can I use peroxide & qtip to try to get the bedding material cleaned out? If it needs stitches, what should be used for thread? I have blukote & triple antibiotic cream as well as super glue, but not sure what to do.
