wing pulled off but still attached by muscle, any suggestions

[agale]

Wow! So great that you got such great vet care at that price. Was an antibiotic injection part of the deal? I am also curious about that after care...

Antibiotic cream that that I apply.and wrapped the wound with gauze.

That price was a steal!

You were really fortunate to find a vet willing to treat.
I have a sneaking suspicion that they couldn’t possibly pass up the opportunity to see and treat such an injury, and on a chicken no less!


As @Texas Kiki stated above, please fill us in on the aftercare recommended for this guy, including meds.
I am as curious as she is!

The Vet was amazing, gave real world advice from putting it down or repairing. Was really concerned about me spending a lot but still had their costs . Very Knowledgeable with birds. Animal Ark in Clemmons NC is the vet I found. The creme says SSD creme but he called it another name and I cannot recall it it.

Does Silver Sulfadiazine sound familiar?

Someone asked about her roosting. Well i have multiple levels so, of course she will need to learn her balance with one wing but, she is able to hop around and work her way up to different levels of roosting.

Maybe I missed it, did they remove the wing...at shoulder or...?

Any chance of pics??

they did remove the wing.

they did remove the wing.

Vet took it back to the joint?
Surprised they didn't pluck feathers out around wound.
Do they expect the skin to re-granulate over joint?
