Update from dog attack: how long for wound to heal...

[Kir Clucky]

How long should I expect this to heal, the other girl I have, Sugar, has a similar depth wound on her back between her wings.

How are you treating it? Keeping a layer of triple antibiotic on in will hasten the healing time.

It is hard to see the wound in these pictures.

I had a girl with a neck wound that took 3 months for the scab to finally fall off. Her wound was pretty big though.

Here is LC's story:

You seem to have two threads going. Do you want the mods to combine them?

Welcome to BYC.

I looked at combining them, but I think it's best to keep them separate. The other thread seems to be more about the predator attack, while this one is about treating wounds.
