So I go out to do my evening rounds and fill waterers and feeders When I get to the hen coop my daughter informs me theres a little girl with a string down her throat. We quicky open the wind door I examine it and its actually not in her throat its wrapped and somehow knotted around the base of her tongue. She had been trying for however long to pull it out herself. When I saw her she ws tugging and walking backwards. theres a big blood blister at the bottom of her tongue. After about 30 min of being careful with the sharp scissors (I had to strap her down to a board she wouldnt sit still and i had a fear of stabbing her in the tongue throat ect.) I was finally able to get it out She already acted lithargic at this point almost as if taking her few last breaths in my hands and my daughters hands. ( it just appeared she gave up trying to live from that point) her eyes were closed her breath was very slow and shallow I had elastic bands around her lower and upper body to keep her still. Soon as I removed it from her tongue and released her from her bonds, she quicky perked up and started attacking us. I guess my question is what can I do to make sure she can eat and doesnt die on us. I mixed her up some grain and oatmeal I made it very runny and soft were srambling some eggs up now. I offered her vitamins and electrolyts in the water is there anything more we can do to help this little one Make the stress transition and heal her wounds since it is inside the mouth any advice would be greatly appreciated thanks alot.
