Infected hock! 5 days old.

Has anyone had success treating an infected hock in a tiny chick? She also has spraddle leg and slipped tendon/twisted tibia, but unless the infection can be eliminated I don't know if she will even survive.

Did she nick her leg on something? I had a quail chick that survived the incubator falling off the counter but got her leg scratched up. I cleaned the wound with betadine, applied triple antibiotic and added colloidal silver in her water and she healed up nicely
