Almost a month now I had a hen come to me that was attacked by a pack of dogs and the woman who saved her wasn't able to keep her.
She doesn't have open wounds and the only broken bones is in her wing tip. The issue is she's unable to stand or walk without assistance.
She eats just fine, poops just fine, seems like she can feel her feet and she can move her legs/feet and grip but she's unable to stand.
Closest vet is several hours away but I was able to send her a text to ask and she thinks it might be a crush/spinal injury and that she may heal on her own or she may not.
I have a sling made for her and I'm thinking of making her a wheelchair to move around more.
My worry is, if worst case scenario happens and she can't walk or stand on her own will she be able to have any quality of life? I don't have a job currently so I'm home alot so taking care of her isn't an issue but I don't want to force her to live if the quality isn't there.
