Shannon: I'm so sorry to hear that! What you're doing with her sounds good.
Are the lumps perhaps tumors?

I hope she heals up soon.

No, I don't think so. They stick out like purple/dark red bumps. She has one under her eye, one on the back of her neck and I don't know about on her body. I would post a picture, but I think I deleted them. ;-;

I found one, of when the lumps started to grow under her eye:

They're a lot darker now. And bigger.

Am I the only girl who would actually wear a petticoat? XD

Heck no. I'd totally wear one! XD

I opened the door and there was a lot of blood everywhere. I found Lovey with blood running down her leg, but most of it had coagulated. I don't think she was attacked, I think she pulled one of her feathers out somehow. We cleaned it with some warm saltwater and we've put her in a box, outside, with a hot water bottle. If she gets worse, we'll bring her in. We can't wrap her leg, because of all of her feathers. I did trim a few feathers, but it didn't help much. We're going to make sure she has water and we're going to give her warm pasta soon. She's quite old, so it might take a while for her to heal. Plus, she has a few other problems like she's underweight, she has lumps on her head (and possibly her body), she has a purple comb and tons of other problems. I've tried treating all of her problems, but nothing ever works.

Is there anything else we can do for her and her leg?

Should I just make sure she is drinking, eating and resting?

Oh no. I'm sorry, Shannon.

She might have fallen and scraped her leg or, like you said, torn feathers out somehow. You might try rubbing some coconut oil or aloe vera on her leg. Also, I'd put some ACV in her water if possible.

How big is the wound? I would clean it out with Hydrogen Peroxide or Rubbing Alcohol (that's going to work better than with saltwater) and close the would with Blue-Kote (which should be available at a farm store if you don't gave it). If there seems to be a lot of inflamed skin, I would apply aloe vera or petroleum jelly. If it seems to be healing slowly, try giving her garlic. Hope she will get better
