I would just keep an eye on it for now and see how he does with the neosporin. I always have keflex around the house. Keflex is for humans but works well for animals too. I am fortunate my Dr. writes for refills for me so I can just fill them as I need them. ;) But to purchase them for animals, you can go to firststatevetsupply.com and get some there. A vet could write a script too. But at FirstState, the man that runs the store, Peter Brown (The chicken doctor) is wonderful for any questions on care for sick chickens. If you belong to facebook I would recommend to friend him. He has messaged me and I spoke to him on the phone as well regarding a silkie girl that got attacked by a hawk and survived. He is a wealth of knowledge and always willing to help. But for the Keflex dosage, a silkie can have 250 mg twice a day and you can even go up to 500 mg if needed especially for a larger chicken. It is a capsule and I had opened it up to mix with food like yogurt or moistened chicken feed. It smells terrible when you open up the capsule so mix it with something they really like. LOL

I also have a roo with frost bite....I had to bring him inside for treatment....His wattles were really swollen and he stopped eating....he wouldn't bend over and was shaking his head alot....I gave him tetracycline in his water and fed him scrambled eggs every day...I also bluecoated his crop as they started to bleed....today is his second day back outside...he's not 100% yet, but, he happy not to be stuck in a crate...I will need to watch him closely...
 
Update on Miss Stumpy:
I was watching her as her & the 4 other chicks were trying to eat. The 2 little barred pullets were perched on the side of the food bowl. Miss Stumpy was determined to do the same. After several attempts she managed to get 1 little stump planted firmly IN the food bowl & the other balanced on the edge of the bowl. Finally satisfied with her position, she proceeded to fill her crop with the others. Once she was done, she hop-flapped to the waterer about 8 inches away & drank her fill. The heated area is about 1 1/2 ft square on the other side of the food. I'm sure I will find her there "basking in the sun" the next time I walk past.

Am I the only old, blind, fool on here that appreciates the larger pics?

And what exactly is a glass top stove? Are they the flat ones? And beer bath? Does it make your skin silky smooth?

Also had a headache this today, I think they're killing my brain cells.

When does the map get updated? I did comment on my location, well, the zip code, anyway. I'm actually about 5-6 miles from the post office, in a different town, but close enough.
Do I actually have to have chickens first? I'm working on it!
