Split foot pad

[dkkirby]

My chicken's foot pad is split from a feral cat attack. I gave her an Epsom salt bath. Should I neosporin it and use a light wrap to hold it together or let it grow back normally? She is in quarantine.

Since the bottom of her foot is injured, I would wrap it so no dirt gets into the wound.

Can you post any pictures? Neosporin and a dressing sound best to me.

I will try. I'm about to bring her in for a salt bath

I did a good soak as she also has bruises. I used neosporin and a soft wrap. I will redo tomorrow.

It's kind of hard to see, but it actually looks more like bumblefoot to me.

The swelling had gone down and the pad was laying more flat like it should. I pray it grows back right.

No. It's where the pad was sliced open from the feral cat...like a flap.
