I wouldn't give her a bath. Do you notice any bad odors? If not, then continue caring for the wound like you have been, keeping ointment on it.Is there any type of food that would be good to syringe feed him? I have tried normal chicken food but it is just to chunky even after soaking it to fit in a syringe. I have ground up some dry chicken food as fine as I can to see if that will do better when soaked. But if there is any other food I can do please let me know.
My hen has a big wound on her back/side, do you think an Epson salt bath would be good for her? (Pics of her below)And maybe him?
Also thank you everyone e that has been giving me such good advice.
IF you notice bad odors like the beginning of infection, clean and swab out the wounds with Chlorhexidine (Hibiclens) really well, then reapply your ointment.
Her wounds will take time to heal.
For syringe feeding, a lot of people use Kaytee Exact Baby Bird Formula.
