I will try to be very detailed.
1. Speckled Sussex hen about 9 months old
2. Wing injury to what I believe was a predator. Got her right behind right wing. I have a premier 1 chicken fence, but fence charger wasn't working. So came through fence.
3. Put her inside in basement to treat her. Was fairly deep wound could see muscle and tendons connected to neck.
4. On advice of vet treated her with neisporin ointment and daily rinse.
5. Wound never got infected and started healing. At that point she was eating/drinking normally.
6. She has been in basement 5 weeks.
7. Last week she started not eating on her own and appeared to be going blind.
8. I have been able to give her water with either corrid or apple cider vinegar through a syringe. Most days she will drink a small amount of that.
9. Past couple of days she has lost her strength so lays down with eyes closed.
10. I have checked for egg bound and impacted crop. It doesn't seem to be that.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
