Rosster with a dislocated toe

[momonpillowhill]

Got in a fight with a martial arts master!! Tore his toe almost off. We reattached it but it's swelling. We are treating with injectable antibiotics and topical, but no change. Could we just cut it off? Really like this roo. any suggestions?

Trish in N. Il. 35 chickens, 16 ducks, 5 horses, 5 dogs, 5 boys, no sanity...

first I would give the bird a asprin to keep him socialble
give some wet mash for his stomach to accept the asprin

I would do away with the toe and use iodine straight on the cut
keep the bird caged so he doesn't need rescuing again

the toe may bleed
I would heat a nail by holding it in a pliars and putting the nail over the stove unit
till the nail is hot and catarise the cut toe
it will not be as bad as what he is doing now
and should save him

\\give him the probiotic wet mash
3 tbsp of dry crumbles
6 tbsp of milk any kind
and 1 tbsp of yoguart
feed it to him twice a day for natural gut flora restitution

keep this up till he is healed

Roo is much better today, The antibitoics are working, swelling down and so is fever.

Thanx for your assistance, Trish
