I used betadine and saline to wash the dog injured turkey's wounds. And my Co-Op didn't have blue kote but a spray - blue lotion, that also is an anti-infective and wound coat - but not goopy.
She was Majorly wounded, I had to staple it shut to get an open wound that was about the width of a tennis ball. I had to flush and debried it fairly often. She had some muscle damage and tissue death and necrosis but we got past it with cleaning. But she is actually making it. Gonna be an ugly scar and I wouldn't call that leg terrific but the limp is gone, her feathers growing back (he half plucked her as well - in the middle of this winter - brr).
She should be well enough to turn out with the others by March. I've kept her separate, first in the house, then a south facing kennel and fed her HEAVILY. With all that tissue and feather to grow she's had access to all the high protein layer and scratch she chooses to eat. She should be out in time to start the laying season with her sister and their guy Jake who is finally figuring out he's an adult male turkey now.
A lot of stuff for livestock isn't labeled for birds for a reason. And often without a warning label either. Reading the reference sites here has saved my birds from several errors I might have otherwise made.
Thank you all and hugs, and best wishes for the chicken gal.
