Hi everyone- our pullet who had frostbite on her feet in January has since lost her toes on one foot. I’m not sure what I should be looking for as far as healing goes. I’ve been changing the dressing daily (they fell off on Sunday). Today, her legs feel a little warmer than usual, but she had been sleeping when I picked her up. There is some redness on part of the wound and black scabbing on the rest. What should I look for in regards to an infection? And at what point should I get her on antibiotics? If so, where do I get them and which is recommended? I want to be proactive! she has been eating, drinking, and pooping regularly. I offer her electrolytes and fresh water.
She is in our laundry room. She is walking, awkwardly of course but she is doing great, all things considered.
Thanks for your help!
