Hi all,
I have a 12 week old polish pullet we discovered two days ago with a head pecked clean of feathers and solid blood. I rinsed it with sterile saline and have been applying regular neosporin (no pain additive) for two days. The first night I slept with her wrapped in a blanket in my arms because she was very shocky and passing out a lot. She came around the next morning; I washed wound lightly with hydrogen peroxide and have continued to apply neosporin 2x per day. Her the area is scabbing and is yellow/green colored which alarms me yet there is no smell, no puss weeping....she's acting fine, pecking around in the front yard with me all day, sleeping well at night, eating and drinking well. Just the color of the darn scab is just killing me! It went from initially looking to be a whitish yellow to looking more yellow greenish as the day has gone by.
I purchased some Microcyn AH spray at TSC today to use on the wound and will continue to apply neosporin....question being - is a greenish scab "normal"? Or am I overlooking a serious infection? So confused!
Thanks for any help. If needed, I can post a picture. Gosh, I'm so worried!!
