patterdalejoel 669 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 i got a 2 inch gash tear wound, but i didnt notice it for about 2 days as its exactly under the wing. it has scabbed over and i have been trying to keep it clean and spraying with terymycin, what else should i do? the "flap" hasnt healed over, the flesh has simply scabbed over. any tips? this is a hen by the way, but i thought people in here might know more than hen people as its a strange question.

littlefish 587 Posted May 2, 2013 Report Share Posted May 2, 2013 Post this question in the 'living off the land and game cooking' section. There's plenty on there who post about birds. Good luck. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
beast 1,884 Posted May 3, 2013 Report Share Posted May 3, 2013 if it is dry, and isnt red or iflamed i would simply leave it to heal. but check every day, if it starts to weep or swell it will ned antibiotics (we used to use one called baytril for poultry). if the scab comes away or doesnt form well you may want to put some wound powder on to dry it off Quote Link to post Share on other sites
