Help! Yesterday I discovered one of my hens covered in blood, with a large wound on her back. I bandaged her and today took her to the vet who diagnosed a squamous-cell (sp?) tumor, basically an enormous skin tumor, that had ruptured. He gave me a spray that will granulate the tumor over time and instructed me to bandage it and cover her entire body in a sock (he have me some) used for horses' legs. That way she can't pick at it.
I've done that and have her in a separate crate from the others. But she really doesn't look good. She's standing around, looking as if she's falling asleep.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Will she recover?
Help!!
