Does the wound smell bad, have redness or red streaks, is it hot?This is thr 4th day of that attack on my chicken. Floral (my hen's name) is still in no good shape although her condition improved some. I tube feed her water and food with medicine, aspirin, amoxicillin. Clean her wounds w saline and Neosporin. Except her rear she also got a puncture wound on left side of her neck, I am really worried it got infected. I actually think it is. Here is a picture, can someone tell me how to tell if the wound is infected and if so what should I do? Thanks!
Is the puncture wound a lump, hard to tell in the photo. Swab it daily with chlorhexidine, then apply your triple antibiotic ointment. Chlorhexidine will help a lot if it's starting to get infected.
