I agree with Bruce. NEVER get braces from online. You could end up ruining your bite which could cause major problems down the line including needing restoration of your teeth and complications like TMJ or worse.

I never thought of that. That's a good point. Although I think I got TMJ from regular braces hah

Precisely. Complications arise even when an orthodontist, who has gone through lots of training, works on your teeth. Imagine what could happen without that knowledge.

You can give him a shot of keflex to make sure bacteria does not take hold in the wound.

Usually chickens heal up well from wounds though. Keep it clean and bandaged. I use vetericyn wound spray here.

Perfect. I'll see if I can pick some up today.

I'm sure this guy will too. I treated his bumblefoot a couple of days ago, but noticed he was limping today and lying down a lot.
He's such a great boy. Just stood in the water, even when I left the room.

Next question...
You recommended a product a little while ago to put in their runs to help prevent the spread of the bumblefoot. Do you think spraying down the runs with an antiseptic would do anything?

Do you have a dollar store near you? They have feeders for well $1 ha and if you already have nectar or make your own, it wouldn't cost much more

It's not the money, i think he likes to be in control sometimes.

Maybe!

A spray made from lacto bacillus would work too. There are some out there.
