Hi there,
Our hen Peggy Sue was attacked by a raccoon a month ago. She had a terrible wound, but it was healing nicely, she was eating well, talking (loves my husband) active and we were almost certain she was going to make it. Two days ago she started pulling out her feathers, not eating well at all, looks pale and has yellow diarrhea. She also has a light amount of amber drainage from the wound, which has started scanning over. She has had a series of Clavamox (in the beginning,) we were treating her wound with Triple Antibiotic and Aquaphor and Wound Kote, twice daily. We are now using Vetericyn Utility Spray and Vetercyn Antimicrobial Hydrogel 3 times per day. She had even gotten to where she was giving us a hard time at treatment time, but now she does not look well and is not moving much, not talking or eating well. The first pic is the day after she was injured, the second is today and the third is how pitiful she looks. (BTW, no vet in our area takes care of chickens, ducks or geese.)
Any advice will be greatly appreciated! We really do love our little sweetheart with a stout heart!
