How do I treat scrapes? Close encounters of the Dog kind.

Breathing deeply:

So the six-week old Australorp pullet got out of the cage and the Lhasa Apso had her in his mouth...she was lucky enough to be discovered quickly but sustained some soggy feathers and a fang-scrape on her back. Ugh. What would be good antiseptics and/or ointments to help heal and prevent infection?


Also, shouldn't she be isolated so the others don't peck her wound...?


Lucky girl.


Thanks,

Jen

I would at least treat with Betadyne or equivalent.
