Wound/Flystrike: Can this chook be saved? (graphic photo)

Fish mox is fine if you can get it nowadays. Pigeon supplies store sell amoxicillin for the water which below is 10% and some sell 20%, but that is out of stock. Figuring dosage is a little more complicated that the fish mox, but you could use that at the right dosage.

Well, I think Paloma has stopped eating. Even scrambled egg and treats cannot tempt her, but when I take her outside, she scratches most energetically and happily and eats greens. She tries to run around. She complains about being brought back inside. She even tidbitted over a couple of small worms she found and eventually ate (I appreciated the offer). But her food, mash, eggs, treats (Scratch and Peck chick feed)? No. I do have a separate cup with grit and oyster shell for her, too.

There is maybe one dropping in her infirmary since I cleaned that out... Friday?..and her droppings on the garage floor (I let her out to stretch her legs and wings) look like this. I have put NutriDrench in her water and gave her a dropperful. The FishMox of course hasn't arrived yet. It is starting to feel a little like I am losing the battle.

The first photo is from the morning, the second from yesterday.

EDITED TO ADD I do think part of the problem, if not all of it, is that she is extremely lonely. But I'm not able to set a up a spot for her in the coop until tomorrow. My husband thinks we ought to let her back with the flock for the afternoon in the hopes she will then eat. I work from home and can keep an ear on things, and Paloma is the boss hen, too.

If she seems less stressed with the flock, and you are able to supervise to make sure no one pecks at her wounds, it's worth a try to see if she will eat. The green may very well be from not eating (increased bile in droppings). Hopefully the amox. will get to you soon.

Thank you. She is out and I sat there with my work for a bit. She chased off one hen, then another came at her (it's always the small cute ones...) and my roo broke up the fight, which calmed things down. Paloma now has an entire half of the run *and* the mash dish to herself. She ate a little, too! I'll have to bring her back in for a bit shortly due to an appointment, but this has to improve her mood.
