My Turkey hen was degloved by a predator last night, and from under her wing to her chest her skin was pulled off and down. It was hanging in a large flap of feathers and skin, we pinned it back together after cleaning it out and wrapped her in bandages, but she won’t leave the bandages alone. She keeps getting them off somehow, even after we put a t-shirt over them so she couldn’t get to them. After looking all over our area fish penicillin is the only antibiotic available, which is 250mg tablets. It says to put it in water but she isn’t drinking that much right now and I’m afraid it won’t be enough to help her. If I was to crush it up and give it to her orally how much of a pill should I give her? What other steps can I take to make sure her wound closes and she survives?
