I have a RiR hen that got attacked by a dog today. She is pretty bad off..not much for skin/feathers left on her neck..just flesh, she almost looks like a nakedneck chicken...also got an area above her tail feathers that are raw/fleshy.
What chance do you think she have in recouperating? I have cleaned her off, sprayed the areas with antibiotic spray (human kind), wrapped her neck in gauze and tape and also cleaned the wounded area above her tail feathers..I also gave her some kids tylenol..in lack of knowing what else to give her..If you all feel she has no chance in surviving then we want to put her out of her pain and actually help her cross the rainbow bridge, but if not, I will fight for her and tend as best I can on my own. Please give me your honest opinion.
Thanks, Petra
