I was putting alot of antibiotic ointment on my hen's huge coon-attack wound for quite a while. It really matted down the neighboring feathers.
Yesterday I gave her a bath with baby shampoo and it just seemed to spread the oil. (Her wound is now a scab).
What should I use to clean her that would be safe for the wound, and wouldn't hang around on the feathers, once they dried? I know it will probably degrade with time and disappear, but she's not able to fluff her feathers very well and sometimes she gets cold.
Thanks.
