I'm going to have to get some aprons of some sort, or get rid of some roos really soon. Back when I had injured chickens I read that you can put neosporin on a chicken wound for a short time, but you should also put antibiotics in the bird's water to make sure she heals ok. We got antibiotics at the feed store. But then all the birds get antibiotics, if you put it in the water. I don't think you're supposed to eat the eggs if the chickens are taking antibiotics...<br />Good luck, keep us informed!<br />~LynnRazzberry Cornerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17644607616585345473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-13116728192888584972010-05-13T10:20:14.063-07:002010-05-13T10:20:14.063-07:00I would just use something like blu-cote or idoine...I would just use something like blu-cote or idoine, but I think I might rinse with peroxide first, just to make sure there isn't anything lurking in there. Luckily it is under the wing, so it looks like the flies couldn't get to it as easily. Even though the chicks look a little bent out of shape about the coats, they look very smart, like they are off to the office for the day! ;-) Poor neighbors dog. Why, oh why do people get an animal (a pack animal at that!) and isolate it? I'm glad you were able to confine him to keep him safe as well as all your critters. I loved the post yesterday about the cat and his dog. I've seen those bonds formed here at times and it's always amazing.<br />TammyTammyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02131066591477169851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-20256177100337407502010-05-13T05:35:16.837-07:002010-05-13T05:35:16.837-07:00I can see now why they make aprons with shoulder g...I can see now why they make aprons with shoulder guards - brilliant. The neighbor's dog is cute. I'll never understand why people have animals if they keep them locked up all of the time and never have any interaction with them.

My horse doesn't like it either so I tried tying a scarf over her eyes. I had the wormer ready and as soon as the scarf was tied, I popped the wormer in and had it done within seconds. If you will forgive me, she "didn't see it coming" and so she didn't fuss. I've blindfolded her on two occasions now and it is great!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03747874816263648409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-29049243266041740412010-05-12T17:55:35.026-07:002010-05-12T17:55:35.026-07:00Poor chicken,I put neosporin on just about everyth...Poor chicken,I put neosporin on just about everything around here. It seems to help. I know all about neighbors dogs. Bo has been placed on "home confinement" when I have to go somewhere. The neighbors dog would set at the end of the driveway waiting on me to leave, then come over and get Bo and take off with him. Bo gets in trouble and he just runs amuck.Cattle Call Farmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10282563744713445241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-75237787360822055622010-05-12T17:13:51.824-07:002010-05-12T17:13:51.824-07:00The biggest thing to watch for is maggots.

Like others mentioned, the antibiotic powder would be a good thing also.Teresahttp://www.edenhills.blog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-65920689564062871412010-05-12T16:24:33.472-07:002010-05-12T16:24:33.472-07:00Blue Cote is good for wounds like that.

If they are wandering around then they can be impounded. If they are not claimed, they are tested to see if they can be rehomed and if they are dangerous they are humanely put to sleep. sound horrid I know but children and other pets must be protected.angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06367100990792829157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9185545398642259021.post-73227773735745659442010-05-12T14:59:49.579-07:002010-05-12T14:59:49.579-07:00ooh!

It looks huge in the picture. I'm not sure what you can do about it at this point. Hopefully, it will start to dry and close up. I think you have more patience with Stewpot and his ways then many would have. I'm pretty sure my DW would've shipped him off somewhere else. Also, I feel so badly for that poor dog you had locked up. That's truly an awful situation. We'd be happy to loan you one of our crew of big white dog/LGD's to establish pasture security. Good Luck.

You might wrap it, so she doesn't make a mess by either trying to wipe it off, or sitting on a dirty surface with goo on her. Hope she improves... <br /><br />We had trouble with dogs at the last place we lived, it was only after I called the dog catcher twice that things settled down, and even then I had problems.
