Raccoon attack! Help!

[floppysquirrel04]

Thanks! Yeah, they might trap the raccoons if they become more of a problem. Their chickens are very well protected, and mine are too now, but soon we will have goat kids and might have to do something.

This is the disinfectant

Her wounds don’t smell at all thismorning. The one on her chest is scabbing over. I’m letting her eat some egg right now, but in a little bit I will put the triodine stuff on it. Her skin on her wing is still pretty greenish now, but there aren’t any open wounds other than a small scratch and it doesn’t smell. Her throat is looking better too. She’s even preening herself right now

How do I give Baytril orally?

Squirt it in her beak with a syringe. Do you have a picture of the label?

 

[floppysquirrel04]

the outside of our bottle is dusty and hard to read, but this one says the same things.

 

[floppysquirrel04]

Oh you meant the Baytril...
Had to go back and read your comment . I will try to get a picture of it. My friend is not at the ranch right now and I have to wait because I don’t know where they store it.

Use iodine, NOT "tinture" Iodine, It has Isopropyl alcohol, that BURNS when applied. dilute it (pure Iodine) a little with water to cleanse wounds.

Ok. I’m going to give her the Baytril tomorrow as well.

It was discussed earlier in the thread.
