If you are open to homeopathic remedies, Arnica Montana 30C would bring down the swelling quickly. Comes in small blue tubes avail at health food stores and some pharmacies.So basically my BBB turkey got beaten up. Yesterday his face was kinda swollen but I was not to concerned, today it has gotten pretty bad. This was caused by a Muscovy's wing.
This was him yesterday-
This is him today-
The swollen skin has changed colors.
I am not sure what homeopathic remedies are. I can not run out any buy anything until tomorrow.
He will heal whether you treat it or not. Turkeys fight, they get hurt and unless they suffer severe depression, they heal very well on their own.
Never knew this, but are turkeys prone to depression? They are basically pterodactyls, what do they have to be depressed about?
It would be ok to give it tomorrow. It is fairly inexpensive, less than$10 and you get about 80 pellets so you can save the rest for another time. Its kinda hard to explain homeopathy in a few words but if you are interested PM me and I can point to some informational videos on youtube. You don't really have to know very much to use Arnica successfully.
It is very common among any type of male poultry to suffer from depression when they lose their position as the head male of their flock just as any male authority figure of any type of animal or bird can suffer depression upon losing their position of authority.Never knew this, but are turkeys prone to depression? They are basically pterodactyls, what do they have to be depressed about?
That is amazing.
