Attacked

[Jbomb416]

Something attacked all my of my hens and killed them except one. Mary Ann who is a Brahma is still breathing (checked her heart rate and lungs) (I’m a vet tech) she has a wound but is also in shock. I gave her some sugar water and she is wrapped in a heated blanket she seems to be more responsive by the hours but I’m not sure if I’m doing the right thing what else can I do for her. How long could this last. I am aware that she could die in the morning .

Unfortunately she did die three the night I did everything I could even stayed up all night she didn’t make it. Thank you all so much for the help

I'm sorry about your birds.
You're doing the right thing, if she gets through the shock, she'll be fine.

Sorry about your loss and your poor girl. Could you post a picture of her wound?

You need to keep the wound moist with antibiotic ointment so it doesn't dry out, if it dries out it won't heal.

Okay. Clean with saline, not regular tap water. You know how to make saline? And it has to be sterile.

 

[Jbomb416]

Yes I know how to make saline I am in the vet medicine field

She is going to be grieving for the others, but it is important she has other chickens around when she is well again. Just give her lots of love and care, to help her through her shock and grief. Poor chicken. You are doing great.
