Here are the pictures:
Pre-stitches, filled up with neosporin:
(The puncture is near her tail, and looks deceptively minor...if I hadn't seen it fresh and open, I might have missed it..)
More like a 2.5" tear, after all...funny how the mind exaggerates these things.
Stitched wound:
And she...
My dog got a hold of one of my chickens last night. (It was all my fault, too...I let the dogs out without checking to see if my husband had let the chickens out first...) He ripped out most of the feathers on her back and bit her back, resulting in about a 4 inch tear and a single puncture...
