Ok great. Thanks :-)

I'm so sorry about your chick. That breaks my heart. I really hate this for you and her sister/BFF chick. I'm sure your dog didn't mean to injure the chick, but I would make sure the others can't escape their brooder and suffer the same. Even if your dog was gentle, it doesn't take much to...

Is it just the two of them? Once she peps back up, she's not going to be happy that she's alone, but putting her at risk isn't a good idea either. It depends on how many are in the brooder, in my opinion

Is she able to reach in the bowl for a drink? If so, that's fine, just don't have the water much deeper than the rocks.

Just rocks so she doesn't drown. Whenever I have young chicks, I use a chick drinker which is very shallow and even with that, I place those flat shiny decorative rocks all the way around to keep them from falling in somehow. They can find themselves in the craziest of circumstances. You just...

Since she just went through this, it might be a good idea to place some rocks or something inside the bowl just in case she falls in and becomes too weak to escape. I apologize but my mind always has a tendency to think about the worst case scenario. Please bare with me. I hope you'll keep us...

That's wonderful!!! Hopefully her improvement continues. I find it comforting that the chick is already standing and even walking around some. I'm sure it's probably exhausted because it doesn't know that your dog is gentle. I imagine that it felt like it was going to die at that very moment >...

Waking up to look around sounds like a good sign. Now let's hope and pray it continues to improve and there are no injuries.

I would get the chick calmed down and out of shock first. This may take a little while. Just leave it in a warm stress free environment. If you have nutri drench or sugar water, you can offer that, but first let the chick calm down and out of panic mode. Others with a lot of knowledge will be...

Does the chick act normal already? The shock will be the first thing to address in this situation. Warming the chick up is an important part of that. If it's not really wet, the heat lamp will be enough

Blow drying will also help you look under the down for punctures and/or injuries. Even the most well meaning dogs can cause serious injury to chicks. Do you have any nutri drench? It's important to keep it warm and watch out for dehydration. I wish you and your little fluffy friend the best!

How old is the chick? Was any of its down ripped out? It's possible that the chick is in shock so keeping it warm is important. If it's wet, you may want to get it dried with a blow dryer but don't let it burn the chicks skin
