HELP PLEASE...WOUNDED BANTAM SILKIE

[Krystal1983]

My silkie was attacked by something. Im pretty sure it is my rooster as Ive seen him attack her before and had to swat him off her. Idk why but he seems to go after her. He's only about 22 weeks old and asserting his dominance. But after this I think I'm going to get rid of him. We have given the silkie and shower to rinse the wounded area and bundled her up to male sure she doesnt get too cold but we dont know what else to do. Any advice? Please and thank you.

Looks like the crop is non existent anymore. Are you sure it was the cockerel?

The wound is on the side like under where the wing would sit. Im not 100% sure but Im pretty sure as he attacks her frequently.

This looks like food material.

It does look like food. I just thought based on the location while holding her it was too far to the side. If it was the crop area as you are saying, will she be able to make it? She is still alive as of now.

My husband thinks we can sew her up. Like stitches kinda...when I took the pic we hadn't showered her yet. She's been laying with him wrapped in a towel but she stood up a moment ago and so I put her in a brooder by herself for right now.

Depending on how bad the damage is, surgery by a vet would be the only option here, but that's both expensive, & risky.

The crop is on the right side of the chest.

It is the right side. She is my favorite silky and we dont have the finances to take her for a surgery.

Let's wait to hear what the more experienced people have to say, before doing something else.


I'd suggest putting her down if it turns out to not be good, or fixable.
