Silkie having seizures would like some help and advice

[Karissab80]

Chicken pus is hard not liquidy like.
I think it could be filed with pus or could be a tumor.

Baytril can be ordered online.

If it is pus it would better to dig it out so antibiotics can work.

So her drainage is not thick, it is definitely thin. Even when I say she “bleeds” in some areas of the abscess during dressing changes, most of the time it is watered down blood if that makes sense. At times she does truly bleed though. I will order this antibiotic now. Any suggestions on the dose? Like I said she is a petite girl.
Also you suggested to “dig it out,” not really sure how. Never did anything like that. Is it something I can google? YouTube maybe?
I truly appreciate all the help!! I don’t mean to sound needy but I am at a loss. Any suggestions on dressings? Would you continue with the diluted bleach twice a day? Thanks soooo much!!!!

Here is a good source for Baytril (enrofloxacin) and dosage is 0.05 ml per pound given orlaly twice a day for 5-6 days.

For a 2 pound bird give 0.1 ml. I would go ask a pharmacist to sell me a couple of 1 ml syringes for oral dosing. Instead of bleach, I would soak the foot in warm Epsom salts for 20 minutes once a day. Use a dishpan and just throw in an ounce with enough water to cover the legs.

Would you cover the area with just a dry protective dressing then or leave it open?

I think I would not wrap it but only if she is in a clean area/cage.
