Maggots on vent injury.

[aart]

ROPA is a natural water supplement with vitamins, antioxidant and oils to support the intestinal tract.View attachment 1867183

Ah, snake oil....er, I mean essential oils.
I'd stick with Nutridrench and Sav-A-Chick electrolytes/vitamins.
Or just good basic chicken ration and plain water.
I have seen some horrid wounds, even with maggots, heal up with time and patience.
Am betting your girl will do the same. Best of cLuck!

Pepper's still on the long road to recovery but I'm more than happy to report she seems to love her new screen door. She's able to look out and see/hear her sisters. In fact she now stands next to the screen more than anywhere else in her "hospital" room. I'm planning on putting a lavender plant in the room, I've been told it can have a calming affect for most animals. Has anyone else heard/read about lavender and animals?

The real question is 'will she eat it?'

Glad she's feeling better, how's the wound looking?

Have read many stories, thinks it makes the keeper feel better, which relaxes the bird.

but more likely.....

She's doing good. She eats more often on her own now, she's had mill worms, blueberries, scramble egg, feed mixed with MannaPro Garden Delight and scratch. She's also drinking on her own and apparently likes the taste of the ROPA. Today is the first time I'm giving it to "the girls". I've done some more research on it and I believe it's not "Snake-oil" but time will tell...The wound still looks raw and sore but her behavior and appetite certainly have improved. She seems to enjoy the view from her "hospital room" now that she can hear and see her sisters.

Hi Mary. Pepper's now eating more frequently and on her own. She's pecking all around her "hospital room" and she's eating up most of what is put down for her. I'm so relieved. Her behavior has even changed. She walks around more and seems to really favor looking out the screen door. She's more vocal but still not as much as she use to be. She stays awake more and is more active during the day

than yesterday and I hope this continues every day...
