CATDOLL : CATDOLL: First Aid! How to treat swollen corns?

If you find a corn that is swollen, you need emergency treatment

Swelling of the corns is a common disease that may be caused by a variety of reasons. Not only will it cause inconvenience to the chicken's life, it may also cause pain and infection. Therefore, once the corns are swollen, we need to take appropriate measures immediately for emergency treatment.

Locating the problem: ruling out the possibility of illness and injury

Before we treat corns, we first need to determine the source of the problem. There are many possible causes of corns, including infection, trauma, and bacterial infection. We can rule out the possibility of disease and injury by:

1. Observe the chickens for other abnormal symptoms: for example, whether they have a runny nose, difficulty breathing, or diarrhea.
2. Check the chicken's eyes for injuries: whether there is any foreign object stuck in the eyes or whether it has been bitten by other animals.
3. Understand the chickens’ diet and environment: Is it possible that the chickens are fed an improper diet or live in an unhygienic environment?

Emergency treatment: First aid for swollen corns

Once it is confirmed that the corn swelling is not caused by a serious disease or trauma, we can try the following first aid methods:

1. Cleaning eyes: Use warm water to gently wash away dirt around the eyes.
2. Apply eye ointment: Use a special corn ointment and apply it evenly around the eyes.
3. Maintain a clean chicken house environment: Make sure the chicken house environment is dry and clean to prevent bacteria from growing.
4. Observe the chicken's behavior and appetite: If the chicken's behavior returns to normal and its appetite gradually increases, then the corn swelling problem may have been alleviated.

If the corn continues to swell or other adverse symptoms appear, it is recommended to contact a veterinarian as soon as possible for further diagnosis and treatment.
