I need help... Gash

[Limet8]

My chicken has a gash on her stomach that is about two inches long. I have no idea how it got there or how long it has been. She has been losing feathers all around it... how do i clean it and is there an antibiotic or something i can put on it?

 

[Limet8]

can you use triple antibiotic ointment for it?

 

[mstricer]

Is it deep? Has it started healing yet? If so I think it is safe to it will heal on it's own. You could clean it out with a little peroxide.

 

[Limet8]

i cant tell. There is a lot of congealed blood around it...

 

[mstricer]

I would leave it alone for now and watch

Can you get a pic of it?
