• Possom carry lots of diesese and these bites could become infected.
• If you can take her to the vet do so
• If not flush the wounds, triple antibiotic cream, a couple times a day. Do not bandage.
• How did the possom get in your coop? Fix it quick, he will be back tonight.
• Good luck with your hen!

Saline can be good to flush at or clean wounds. Weak betadine or chlorhexidene mixed with water can be good to use initially. Use Vetericyn or plain neosporin ointment twice a day to apply to wounds. Make sure that your coop is predator proof.
