Hi everyone.
Back in June, while I was out of town and a petsitter was watching my flock, my petsitter told me my rooster’s tail was bleeding a little. He sent me a picture and I wasn’t too concerned, but a couple days later when I got back it was scabbed over and severely inflamed to the point I thought it was a tumor.
I began doing an epsom salt soaks every other day, then cleaning the scab with Hibiclens and bandaging up with, nonstick gauze and simply neosporin. It seemed to be on the mend so I spaced the treatments out, but the last few times I noticed it doesn’t seemed to be getting much better. Today when I tried to work on loosening the scab, part of it came off, revealing a horrible smell and hollow wound.
I don’t know what else to do. Is this necrosis?? Is he likely to recover from this?
