Limping chicken

[Katlinalyssa]

One of my girls has a cut on the underside of one of her toes in the crease and she is limping. I’ve soaked her in epsom, applied neosporen and an antiseptic spray a few times a day. What else can I do for her? Today is day 3 of her injury. She lays down a lot but still gets up to eat and drink. Nothing else seems to be wrong with her. She’s 20 weeks old and not laying yet.

Keep it clean and watch for infection ... Picture would help ... How deep is it? Would wrapping it help to keep it clean?

I don’t think it’s very deep but since it’s in the crease it’s hard to tell. Its not swollen. But her limp is pretty bad. I’m going to soak her again shortly and I’ll see if I can get a picture. I bought some vet wrap but it wouldn’t stay on.

Hopefully this works! It should be a video of her limping. I couldn’t find the cut I thought I saw the other day. So maybe I’m crazy and she’s limping for another reason?
