[Suzanne in AL]

My hen has very little skin on her neck{. about 70% missing,} Im not sure what meds to use for birds. Im afraid Im going to kill her with kindness!!! Please help!!!!

Lots of info on here. She will need isolation for rest and protection from the others, and good wound care. I'd probably stock up on Neosporin. She should also have a systemic (injectable) antibiotic; I believe Tylan or a penicillin in the drug of choice; Tetracycline won't cut it.

That's just an overview from what I've read, not a good detailed treatment plan.

I would pop her with tylan injectable for 3 to 5 days.
