My turkey is green!

[Bucky77]

My 2 month old turkey got attacked by a dog Sunday morning. I thought she was dead, with the way she was looked. She is a tough girl. Today I noticed her skin is turning green. Is this normal?

Pictures? Scabs on poultry will turn black. That's normal.

It could either indicate bruising or infection.

If her skin is normally bluish or grey, then bruising could make it look green. You've seen a bruise turn yellow?
Is her skin puffy, like swollen up?

No it’s not swollen, the redness went down over night.she is doing good. Eating and drinking. It’s just today is when it started getting green. So that kinda freaked me out.

I think her skin is a light gray color normally.

@Wyorp Rock does this look infected?

Does it smell? Looks like puss to me ... How did you clean out the initial wound? What are you applying?

I thought it was infected at first, but it don’t look like a normal infection. This is also my first turkey, so idk how they bruise or what. She is doing good, she is eating and drinking. I just don’t like it being green at all.

I fear, but do not know, gangrene.
