Injured hen - HELP!!!

[Nefertari]

Glad your vet has stitched her up ok Lucy.

just hope he doesn't stitch you up like mine did a couple of months ago (£180 bill )

[Spreckly]

Just read the posts about your girl, Mad Chick. It must have been a dreadful shock for you. Glad she seems to be OK, and like Nefertari, hope your bill is not colossal.

I can imagine that she will be spoiled rotten tonight x

[Mad Chick]

She's back and tucking into some sweetcorn and grapes
Quite a few stitches - I think I can count 16 but a very neat job so shouldn't be any need for a plastic surgeon
They've used disolveable stitches so hopefully no need to go back but he did say I could take her back for a check-up in a week or so at no extra cost if I was worried.

The vet has told me to keep her separate tonight and put her back with the others (under supervision) tomorrow.

I'm tempted to keep her indoors in the dog crate tonight as she she still may be a bit shocked and feeling poorly from the anaesthetic. Although I do still have my old coop with little run at the bottom of the garden so I could put her out there... where do you think she'd be happier?

Aw Lucy, Im so glad that she is ok...

If it were me i would keep her indoors tonight, especially if its cold out... And after having had an anestetic.

Fingers crossed that she recovers ok.... Any thoughts on what may have caused it?

[Tink]

I am so glad shes back and you can both recover.
I would be tempted to keep her in the dog crate somewhere quiet overnight.
If she has had stitches it may keep her activity down

[p.penn]

Yes, I would keep her in tonight too. Will the others peck the stiches?

Hi Lucy, Just read this. Im so pleased your girlie seems on the mend (and you). What a shock. I would also keep her in doors tonightjust to be safe . Plus she will be warm after op. Well done you I wish I could be as good as you when illness etc affects the girls. to you and your girlie.
