I have a nubian/oberhasli doe who was in prelabor (no ligaments, tight hot udder, occasional contractions), get startled by a predator stealing one of my escaped ducks at 1:09am CST (I was watching on the camera when it happened). She's in a 10x10 covered dog run, and she ran straight into the chain-link and scraped a quarter sized piece of skin off the bridge of her nose. The hole where the skin is missing has a good bit of blood, but isn't running at all. I cleaned it up and put some antibiotic cream on it, but had a hard time getting it to stick.
So my questions are:
Is there anything else I can/should do to her wound, like try to put a bandaid over it, or leave it uncovered? I'm a bit worried about her getting birthing fluid or dirt in it and getting infected.
Any medications I should give her? She's had her CD&T a couple weeks ago.
How will this affect her labor? Will this affect the kid(s)?
I'll update at a more decent hour on if anything happens with her labor.
