Bacteria definitely does not feed on sugar. Sugar wraps are a very common and effective means of deep wound care in veterinary hospitals. It draws out infection without drying out the wound, which is something that is usually challenging to do. Also promotes healthy granulation tissue growth in wounds like this where the skin will never grow back.

That sounds logical. But can what we do at home with sugar be considered sanitary.

Yes, it’s as or more sanitary than applying neosporin or anything similar to the wound. Why would it be any less sanitary, assuming you follow the same cleaning and flushing procedures? There’s nothing sterile about wound care on a dirty torn up chicken, you just have to work with what you’ve got. Read up on medical sugar or honey wraps if you’re interested, it’s gaining quite a following for good reason.
