Introducing Myself

[Deedee1487]

Did you clean the wound?
Gently wash with warm water and soap. Dry gently. Put some antibiotic cream on it (the kind without pain reliever...that's very important, you don't want the chick to absorb the pain reliever. It would be too strong for it.)
If you can find some self adhesive bandage wrap, use it. You may have to cut it into a smaller strip. The compression will help prevent swelling. Make sure it isn't too tight. Repeat the antibiotic ointment and rewrap twice a day. If the trap was used, there is a higher risk of infection.

I did clean it. And as far as if the trap was used or not I'm not sure. I have some of the antibiotic cream but not the kind without the pain relief. I have left the bandage loosely yes and thank you so very much for all the pointers as for pain relief is there anything I can give it?

That poor little chick. I'd be surprised if the bones of her foot are not broken.
