Hello fello BYCers
I have a 4 year old hen who I am pretty sure was attacked by a stray dog.
The problem is that I didn't catch it the same day it happened. I saw it the next morning.
From the smell alone it's infected, so I am working on getting rid of the infection by flushing it 2-3 times daily, and I have her on baytril.
My daughter is the one holding her in the video, and yes, I forgot to put gloves on. Shame on me.
Anyway, the smell is not nearly as bad as it was yesterday.
She is eating normally, pooping, and overall handling it better than I am.
Any advice on what my next steps should be with her?
Continue as is, or ??
I have so many things on hand to use. I am not at a loss as far as that goes.
So tell me what would be the next steps I should take.
Ok here is the graphic video I took:
