Warning graphic injury pics at bottom of post!
A lot of you know Phillip
Our 19 month old RIR Roo.
Five days ago he saved some hens during a three dog pack attack on our coop.
He has multiple severe wounds, the worst being his back muscles between wings were ripped clear off.
He lost a lot of blood and fought dog bite infections in his back, both sides, left thigh and a broken left foot.
Luckily no mortal wounds, lots of blood loss and shock.
He's wanting to move around now and while he's healing well the nerve damage is starting to get to him causing bad tremors. I think part of the tremors could be blood loss or even anemia as over load of white cells to fight infection.
He's in a substantial pain and I want to know if I can give him Tylenol for pain. I know it would be just a little bit, but does anyone have an idea how much, how often?
Also any suggestions on helping him deal with tissue and nerve issues?
Have Vetamycin spray and some burn cream left over from when Connor lost half his face.
Connor was a baby and easy to handle.
Phillip is a large RIR (8 lbs) and he's usually happy spurring me if I startle him, but is now following me room to room and begging to be cuddled.
Not the cuddles type bird...but he cries and grumbles when I put him down.
He will go to his box when he is ready for sleep on his own.
Any advice on pain assistance for this large macho Man?
Thanks in advance.
He still has skin under his wings, but it's cut up on both sides.
Day two he was turning green, but we use Neosporin with Vetmyacin spray and the tissues are looking healthy now.
Prayers for Phillip's health and strength please.
Sweet guy
