I have two chickens that were attacked by a dog. They both suffer from open wounds, punctures, and torn flesh. One the whole side is damaged badly. The other not as much. This happened on Saturday, they are still living and I have removed them from the rest of the flock and placed them in separate cages. I cleaned the wound as best as I can and rubbed a triple antibiotic ointment on the wound. Here is my question, am I doing the right thing, or would it better to put the chicken down. I do not want it to suffer, but I am also willing to nurse it back to health as well. Not sure what to do.
