I just found my welsummer pullet with a crescent shaped gash on the back of her head that made a pocket the size of a quarter that is clear down to her skull. She's fine, she was quite content when I found her, eating and doing whatever it is chickens do...
I put blukote on her and cleaned it, and clipped the feathers away from it, and then put triple antibiotic ointment IN the pocket and then sealed the edge back down with superglue... She's in confinement with water and feed and some grapes to snack on cause theyre the chickens favorites.
Spose I should start her on some antibiotic? What kind should I use if I do? Just an amoxicillian or what?
Whats your thoughts?
Here's some before shots. Its perfectly fine looking now. It sealed up quite nice and clean.
