Some sad looking polish, I think?

Oh my!

Just got through this thread and the black toes were no exaduration! (sp) Wow! I'm so glad to know that she is in your care. I hope she will heal and be able to move on with her life soon. But she seems like a tuffy. I think it can be done.

If I ever had a bird like that in my care, I don't think I could have dealt with it.

Traumeel, it's homeopathic, you can get it in a drugstore (in Canada) or a health store. Works like a charm. Used it on my dogs, cats, & rabbits when every they had surgery, or have been beaten up, or sick. Crush it up and slide it into their beaks or dilute in 1 tbsp distilled water and give it to them with a dropper.

what is in Traumeel?
Thanks for the info!

There is a long list of ingredients in Traumeel, but some of the main are: Arnica, Belladonna, Chamomile, Aconitum, Echinacea. Traumeel helps in the aid of trauma, shock, healing. I'm sure you can look it up on the web.

I have a ringneck pheasant hen that lost most of her toes to a dog attack, some that night others fell off later. She still is a happy, healthy bird and has laid very well for me. Her name is Socks, as she looked like she was wearing one due to the bandages....

I use arnica on myself (and on my birds sometimes) for bruising or trauma...its great for operations and bruises.

Just an update on "Peggy" LOL the name is kinda sticking. Her stub is looking good and pink not completely healed but almost there

, and she is up and walking on it, I been wrapping it and putting extra gauze to pad her foot like a shoe and she goes on a walking. Seems to be happy, and really don't seem to notice her toes are gone. She tries scratching her head with her little nub. but I think Iam gonna start thinking of a permanent "boot', or "shoe" for her to walk on. lol because without it her foot is shorter on that side and she has to hop, but right now with the gauze booty i have on her it is just the right size. Any ideas on a foot shoe for a chicken?
