I'm sure they would be. Assuming they didn't break. You can reuse the **** out of solo cups if you clean em up!
RIP coonie.
I'm by no means a vet, or even experienced in treatment--but I'd say you've done about what you can. Aside from maybe putting him in a cage so he doesn't move. Force him to rest, and keep feeding him easy to eat foods.Help! My cute golden laced polish rooster got attacked last night by the b*#$%^d raccoon! He wasn't in the coop, he doesn't get along with the other rooster so, prefers roosting outside but he was roosted up high on the fence. I feel horrible, I know I should have put him in the coop. At first we thought he was dead but then we noticed some movement. He's a bit tore up under his wing. And his right leg is bothering him (major limping and bleeding from toes). And his beautiful tail feathers are strewn everywhere. So, I put alcohol on his wounds, then I covered the wounds with neosporin. He is drinking water but not eating, he's very lethargic and his poos are very watery. I mixed some pellets & scratch with water maybe he'll like the softer food. I fear some sort of internal injury. Is their anything else I should do for him?
P.S. The raccoon is no longer a problem
Thanks. I asked my neighbor who is a vet to stop by and look at him after work. Ugh, I just hate seeing things suffer.
I had an EE hen torn up badly by a weasel. She would drink water but not eat at first. I made a sort of "pudding texture" mix for her of finely chopped soft boiled egg, with a little molasses, a spoon of yogurt and a pinch of brewers yeast. The weasel had partly crushed her wind pipe and she had to extend her neck to breathe at first or drink so I fed her a little at a time through a big syringe (no needle, just the syringe). I fed her about 4 times a day for 2 days, until she was strong enough to eat it from a bowl. (If you tried a treat like this, perhaps your roo might eat a little, all the extra nutrition might give him a boost.) I just put a little out at a time. She went into a huge molt, but moved steadily ahead, transitioned back to pellets over the next week or two and I was able to put her back in the coop in 2 weeks. She is a great layer and was well worth the effort.Help! My cute golden laced polish rooster got attacked last night by the b*#$%^d raccoon!
