I bet that's a hoot trying to change her bandage while she is dodging and bobbing. lol. I think you both are doing a great job, you've taken good care and she is coming back. As far as the crop gosh I'm thinking that should be showing signs of closing but she doesn't appear to be losing ground because of it. I would think you'd dif have to have help to do anything to it. I love the pic, I hope your drakes begin to gain weight too.i wouldnt know about brave, more like just hoping for the best and expecting the worst. never had a scab come off so soon after forming, but then ive never seen this kind of scab form so quickly before either.
as for closing it up, i cant tell if thats the inside or outside of the crop that i was seeing and if its the inside i dont know where the edges are. even if i could see them unless someone can give me a method for knocking her out any attempt to glue or stitch it closed would either be a waste of time or end up causing more damage. she doesnt even hold still for her bandage change anymore, i have to take it off and put a new one on while she walks back and forth over half the counter with random bobbing and dodging.
