Hole In Crop

[Diamond dave]

Heeelp - I've just had a couple of young lads bring me an injured stray - (looks like someones stock bird)

By the look of its injuries it has hit something. It is quite alert and has eaten and tried to drink but as fast as it is gulping down the water, it is pouring out of its injury around the crop area.

I think I could bring it round ok if I can "plug" the hole. Anyone got any ideas....?

D.D.

Needle and cotton mate,keep the feed and water off it till tomorrow.Put a little salt on the cut.

Depending on wound, you may be able to superglue it together, or cut a patch of masking or carpet tape slightly bigger than the wound and tape it over.
