Skunk attack wounds - please help! **GRAPHIC PHOTOS**

You've gotten great advice above from @BigBlueHen53

I would add so that you can pick this up tomorrow too, some Poultry Cell vitamins for her/their water. She is fighting having flesh eaten by maggots, puncture wounds, torn skin, possible infection, etc., and needs to keep her strength up. A vitamin boost in her water will help. Just a couple of days of the vitamins, then a day of just water in between, or she'll get diarrhea from too much of it. Also, scrambled eggs might sound appetizing to her, and they'd be good for her. You could also try wet her feed in a small dish as she might eat that better than dry. Ours think that's a treat actually.

She's a fighter to still be here, so hopefully she recovers 100%!
 
Thank you Debbie! @hensonmain, always pay close attention to advice from our Educators. They have a black label beside their name that says "Educator." They're the best!

Edit: also Staff and Project Managers.

Sorry I was thinking @Debbie292d had gotten her Educator status! Believe me, she will!
 
Good morning everyone!
Thank you @Debbie292d for your input as well! I’ve returned from the store with chlorhexadine, vetericyn, vitamins for the water, tweezers, and triple antibiotic cream with no pain reliever.

I’m going to first start with chlorhexadine to clean her. Should I dilute it at all? Am I able to spray with vetericyn after the chlorhexidine? I am working today, but will be back in the evening that I can clean her a second time. While at work, I was going to put triple anabiotic cream on her wound. Does this sound like a good plan?
 
Aww man! I'm so sorry to hear this. You did all you could though. And now you are prepared and supplied for if anything like this should happen again. :hugs Hopefully it won't. R.I.P., Martha.
