Hello,
I have a light Brahma hen named Henny Penny who got attacked by a racoon on the wing a little less than a week ago. I washed it and bandaged it up (bactine and triple antibiotic ointment) I was totally unprepared material wise. Everything was going great, hen acting lively (eating, drinking and pooping) then I discovered an infection under the wing. I used penicillin, (gave the first muscular injection yesterday) she perked up a lot and the infection visibly decreased, so did the smell. I was really happy about it.
BUT...
When I was holding her today I saw two little bones sticking out of the healing wound! I must have mistaken them for pin feathers or something. Anyway, I did not expect this at all, she is doing great, and acting lively. I had the surface wound and infection under control... But now this! I don't know what to do about the bones.
BTW: is there anyway possible I can fix this without going to a vet
?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
