My turkey is green!

[AmyJane725]

If it's literally just her skin that is that color, not oozing something that color, and not swollen like there is green fluid under the skin, then it's probably just bruised.

I would probably put her on an antibiotic anyway though. Bite wounds are really dirty, and there's definitely bacteria in those wounds.

Here is a picture of one with a really nasty wound and lots of bruising to use as a reference:

@casportpony I hope & pray I never have to deal with wounds like that.

I think the oil you have on her skin makes the wounds look even worse, just the wet look of it. Are there open wounds where bacteria could have gotten under her skin?

The green is all gone!! I put some thyme, and Oregano oil with coconut oil. The next day the green was all gone. I think it was bruised, but I just didn’t like that green on her. She is out in the coop with the chickens doing good. Thank you everyone for trying to help.

That hen did make it!

Heh, so now I'm trying to figure out the mechanism for the coconut, thyme and oregano oils being able to make the green go away so quickly. I know essential oils have some powerful properties, but that is truly remarkable. But then, I know a man who healed his brown recluse bite with essential oils, exclusively, so, that should tell me something, lol.

I did measure, it looks like I used about a half cup coconut oil, 4 to 5 drops of each oil.
Last year my mom fell and she 79 she had two black eyes, her face looked rough all black and blue. My sister made a mixture for her I remember she put thyme and oregano. My moms face was cleared up in a week. It takes forever for older people to heal and it clears her up in a week I was shocked. So I looked it up to see if those oils was ok for turkeys I didn’t find anything about turkeys but it was safe for chickens. So I mixed it up and put it on her. I put it in her Tuesday night and Wednesday afternoon it was yellow, no green and today it’s no yellow. So I’m shocked myself but very happy that it worked.
