Thank you Debs55
I hope so! She's been such a trooper and has been so strong thru all of this. She's a pet and we love her! She's a lot like a lap cat lol
Concerning peroxide...
I used a 50/50 peroxide rinse the day of the injury to get rid of any debris, and followed up with betadine tea, neosporin and vetricyn gel spray. We do this same thing each evening but only used the peroxide that one Time cause it can destroy new cells that are trying to form... So I'm not going to use it again unless absolutely necessary...
Do you have any suggestions as far as entertainment or activities for her while she is being caged? It's a large 5x4 dog pen we used for our Aussie when she was younger so it's quite large, but she isn't moving very much... She is THE ultimate chicken forager so she has always been busy busy busy.. I put sone dandelion and clover In a bowl for her to eat and peck at but she's still very unhappy about her situation. She has a mirror as well.. We are going to hang some pics of her flock mates around the cage tonight.. Hopefully she will like that. I also have several month old chicks in a brooder should I put one in with her to keep her company? Her wound is mostly covered with her Tshirt so I don't think picking will be an issue.
Thank you guys!!!!!
