She's really doing very well. Amazing really considering I could see her hip bone sticking up before. Feathers are coming back nicely. The durmycin knocked out the wheeze and she's well on her way to recovery. Thanks for checking. Sammy-girl and the two littlest chicks are in small cages under...

Oh these two are a pair. If he goes somewhere, she tries to follow him. Too funny.

So here's my girl now. She's been on Durmycin for about six days because of a wheeze, but that's cleared up and the wound is about half the size it was. The top of the hip bone that could be seen before has new skin on it. She's walking pretty good and starting to fly up on things under the...

Ha, yes there's a fence between the yards but the dogs came around by the river side and just did what some dogs do. :)

Been using Blue-Kote and triple A ointment alternately. That's why it looks so dark. The dog-owner was sorry, and yes, we let ours out twice a day when we're in the yard with them. The dog-owner knew this as well and just forgot about it the morning he let his dogs out. Love your avatar, I...

So I just figured out how to post to the "emergencies" section. Joined BYC a few days back because I had three chicks to be mauled by neighborhood dogs. One of the three died. The other one is back in the coop already with just a few tailfeathers missing. The third is still too wounded...

Amazing! Good to know. She does seem to be pretty hearty considering what she's been through. Thanks, nj

Wow, just saw my post from this morning. It disappeared so I thought it didn't post and did it again. Anyway, I hadn't cleaned up the wound at that point so I'll try to show another picture tomorrow. By the way, does anyone know how to get blue-kote off the hands? I've tried everything from...

So this is how it looked this morning. I was able to debride it a bit around the edges and anywhere that looked like it was totally dead and ready to come off. Also able to get some of the debris out of the center that I'd been unable to remove earlier. Skin beneath looks healthy. Still no sign...

The owner of the dog was very concerned. Felt really bad about it. But we had a discussion with him about letting us know if he was going to have his dogs running around. I live in an area where people come for the weekend and don't live here all the time so he just forgot about it I think. Open...

So, Sammy Girl is doing ok. The blue-kote and anti-bacterial ointment seem to be keeping the wound reasonably dry and it has a nice scab formed around the edges. She's eating good and standing up and getting around more everyday. Noticed this afternoon that her nose seems to be stopped up. Not...

So, I've been a BYC voyeur for awhile and just hadn't joined (didn't want to keep up with one more username and password) but about ten days ago, my neighbor's dogs attacked three of my 13 biddies and wounded two of them severely. The chicks are about 12 weeks old. My Candy-girl didn't make it...
