Can you take a few pictures of her whole body without the wrap on? Where are the cuts? How many?
What online vet website did you chat with?
She is sitting But when I come out to check on her, she stands she’s not eating too well just a little bitThat appears to be a lash egg or material that is a product of salpingitis (inflammation of the oviduct.) It is a common reproductive disorder. I would continue treating her wounds with saline or Vetericyn and applying plain antibiotic ointment twice a day. Is she standing, and how is she eating?
Thank you for your help Also, sorry about your loss 10-11 year old hens That’s pretty old too. He must’ve been taking really good care of them. Please take a look at these pictures because the one that won’t on her chest is turning black is that normal? This has been so stressful but I’ve been taking care of her every single day. I don’t want her to suffer. The one on her back seems pretty good. The only thing she’s eating now she had a little egg yolk, she loves watermelon. She has been eating that and mealworms. Also i’ve been giving her fish ampicillin been trying to 250 in the morning to 250 at night It’s so difficult she hates anything putting her beak. I’ve been trying to put her on her side and put a little bit at a time but she actually hates it. She’s been really fighting me. I guess she has good energy right now she lets me do her wound she stand still any help would be greatly appreciate it.Sorry about the predator attack. I lost 3 of my 10-11 year old hens in broad daylight to a bobcat a couple of years ago. For wound care, I would use chlorhexidene /Hibiclens disinfectant initially, and rinse off with water. Cover with plain Neosporin ointment. Then just use saline to clean the wounds twice a day, following with the antibiotic ointment twice daily until the wounds fill in and close. No dressing is needed, but towel or puppy pad over bedding will keep it cleaner. Antibiotic ointment with painkiller is not needed, and should be avoided. Let us know how she gets along.
