Sprinting down the street
My BTM baby has a small feather cyst on her head as a result of being plucked in the nest by her mama. The breeder says she had a few of these when first feathering up and all spontaneously resolved. Right now, it is not inflamed, does not appear ready to erupt (no yellow keratin visible) and does not bother her. If the feather does not break through on its own in the next week or so or it begins to cause discomfort or infection I will ask the vet to excise it, but since it is not currently causing discomfort is there anything I can try to help her resolve it on her own? I wonder if daily warm mist showers would help?
