Hello. If you read my thread below about the GCC who had to go to the vet over an injury that lead to complications, Ducki is at home and doing much better. She is on antibiotics, pain killers, and a vitamin supplement, and at night I put calendula ointment on her wound. We still dont know what happened, but she has a big hole in her armpit.
When I discovered the wound, she had already plucked some of the feathers around it. Since coming home two days ago, she has continued plucking. It went from a small bald spot around the wound to a large spot under her wing. At this rate, her whole side will be bare in a week.
I know it has to do with the injury, but I'd love some advice on how to curb her plucking quickly, so it doesnt become a bad habit. She has never feather plucked before and is 7 years old.
I'll try to post a picture below.
