Sick hen ate a staple

[sl98]

Hello
My chicken ate an open staple 3days ago, she was completely fine till today, Her comb turned pale and she seems tired and sick
Yesterday i fed her some chicken's meat and joints and her abdomen got full
Her abdomen still looks full today, she didnt drink water and her stoll was dry so i gave her throw a syringe
I took her a week ago cuz she keeps opening a wound she has to drink her blood, It was swollen back then and the ven gave me povidone iodine drops and drops of a reddish pink antibiotic and refused to tell me what it is

The place where her wound is looks bigger and swollen as in the picture, it used to be similar when she loses blood throw her wound, her comb becomes pale too back then
But she didnt lose blood throw her wound this time
Seems like internal hemorrhage
Also her feet fingers are like this, she had this when she was younger but got throw it if it was normal
She may need a surgery and a xray, the xray isnt availbe so idk how will stuff go
I will take her to ven tomorrow

In any case of a chicken swallowing something hard and sharp such as a steel staple, screw or nail, immediately give the chicken raw egg whites to drink down. It's much slimier than oil and should protect delicate tissue from being injured as also helps to float the object through the digestive tract.

It may be too late, but you can try this and see if it helps. The other alternative is surgery, but you need the vet take Xrays to locate the staple so they know where in the digestive system it is.

The "circles" on the feet are called bumblefoot in English speaking countries. It's infection, but needs to be treated with surgical removal of the pus under the scabs, then with an ointment to keep bacteria out of the healing wound.

Thank you so much
I will try egg whites, I hope that will help
The ven removed one of the bumblefoot with his hands and it hurt her, it looked a bit deep then he said 'I'll give you a medic for that' and gave me the anti infection medication
I'm not even sure if that was an antibiotic, but i remember its name was similar to "Erythromycin"
The bumblefoot grew again the next day
Needs an anti bacterial ointment like Gentamicin ?

From what I understand, you have to keep draining the foot until it doesnt pus up anymore. Epsom salt soak, then remove scab, drain, apply medicine, etc. That is what our family does, and what most others I know around these parts, do. Erythromycin is an antibiotic. It should help the foot and wound.

Bear in mind, I am no expert. Just telling you what worked for me.

The yoks dilute the whites when you mix them. Whites only for this remedy.

No, do not give any chicken an iron supplement. It's not good for chickens.

All of these symptoms point to the possibility of this being a respiratory virus called Mycoplasma synoviae. It causes fluid buildup in the legs and feet as well as breathing issues, It's very difficult to treat, and it can take weeks, even months to see improvement.

You have the best antibiotic for it already. Does the Erthromycin directions say to mix it in water? It's very important to use it correctly or it won't do any good. If you aren't sure you're administering it correctly, tell us what form it is and what strength it is and we can help figure out how it's supposed to be given.

Soldiers survive all the time with war shrapnel in their bodies, so if your hen seems to be getting better and she's behaving normally, she should be okay.

Can you post a photo of this swollen area on her thigh? It may not be related to the staple, which I believe may have passed out in her poop.

Sorry for late response
Yeah the directions say to mix it with water

She is doing better, i think she started to improve when i stopped giving her that Red oral antibiotic drops and the topical povidone from the ven
