The Waa's chicken rescue. I know, icky, a chicken in our house. But she is at the bottom of the pecking order, it's cold here, and I couldn't let this go any longer. This chicken some how got icky toes that were bleeding and it's not a good situation. So, I took charge and consulted my Veterinarian friend Lyn!
Full force to the rescue!
I soaked her feet in Epsom salt, we put on some triple anitbac ointment and wrapped her feet up in purple vet wrap. Jim did the 'vet' duties and I held 'Amelia' (according to CW) to prevent any 'freaking out' from happening. She was shaking, the poor thing. Now she's hanging out for a few days/week, she'll need another soaking and clean bandage to make sure it's healing well. And shes lucky, we are having a snow storm and it's a bit windy, she just doesn't know how good she's got it. And I don't know how long this is going to take to heal up either. Yikes! Or will I be able to stick her back out in the cold.
She is sittin' pretty next to our back door, with all the accommodation a chicken would need.
Until next time,
Lexie <>>
