Our flock free ranges....my husband was outside and discovered our rooster Fred was bleeding heavily from his left foot. Once I was able to catch him we discovered his spur was hanging on by a thread. We snipped it the rest of the way off, got him cleaned and bandaged, and gave a dose of Tylan50.
Besides infection is there anything I need to worry about? I plan on giving the antibiotic for the next 3-5 days. He tolerates the bandage well and the rest of the flock is leaving it alone. Topically I’m using vetericyn hydrogel.
Am I missing anything?
I do not have pictures of the wound. We were too concerned with stopping the bleeding and getting him bandaged. I will post some tomorrow when I change his bandage.
