Thats a lot of conflicting advice here poor girls gona get confused and overwelmed ......i know u all trying to help jus saying how it looks when i read it
Sammi, I'm glad you noted A Lot of conflicting advise.
When you review the people that are providing her with Expertise in wound management such as Castropony and Agyzous, most are providing personal input. Once the Experienced arrived on the scene, you can note most of us that were initially helping backed out and allowed them to take over.
Then we became the "Cheerleaders" to the cause.
You will note, Castropony is not only citing the treatment plan directly from an Avian Textbook. She is posting pictures of the pages to support her treatment plan while trying to educate those that pipe in giving advise based on their "own" experience and not based on "Best Practice". We need to all learn from this very stressful situation.
I know I sure did.
Thankfully, all medical treatment is based on Evidence to support the treatment. As a BSN, RN I provide care in the hospital based on Evidence--Thank God for all humans.
Therefore, treatment for trauma with an Avian patient and their owners are entitled to receive the same with good outcomes.
So far, Mr. Clover is surviving with his mama providing excellent care for him.
A public forum invites everyone and that includes people stating what they did for their duck or chicken and telling personal stories. While this is good, during an initial crisis, it needs to be told later for support. Karlem321 was stressed and overwhelmed and truely thought her Ducks head was going to fall off.. she was trying to deal with No supplies available and no parental support either.
Therefore, it is my opinion, personal experiences are best left for later.
After reading the posts, who would you listen to too give you treatment advice?
I know who I would want to help me!
When you read over the treatment, its basically the same, but everyone uses a different style.
Those that have earned the title "Educator" are the ones that have a proven track record.
Read what that title requires to earn it, it's not easy.
I'm glad you read the posts and hopefully bookmarked some solid treatment and mark the people to which you feel you want to follow.
Thank you for bringing your observation to the table.
In this case, I'm a Cheerleader and will reiterate the evidence brought forth.
Let's all keep learning!!!!
picked out each and every one. She eventually healed and went back to laying in like 2 weeks. She still has a limp but shes healthy and my little survivor. Good luck heres a pic at day 6 before I applied her Nustock on it. I get mine at my local feed store. I hope my story gives u hope that ur duck could pull thru. Just keep it clean
