Hatching
Soon to be 4 days ago my chicks got mauled by my chihuahua whom escaped his section of the yard and killed all my chicks except one. Sadly I got home just in time to save the last girl, Chicky. Instantly took her inside, flushed the wounds with Hydrogen peroxide/water mix, clipped surrounding feathers, coated with neosporin & gauzed her up temporarily.(also gave her save-a-chick electrolytes with some aspirin mixed in) I called at least 30 different vet offices/ animal hospitals and there was only 1 who would see her but I just don't have the money to Pay for the vet($200 just for an office visit).. I've been constantly keeping an eye on her as she's inside in a clean environment with food and water available. She eats/drinks and walks fine; HOWEVER today I noticed that her tail is broken very badly. Before I thought the tissue sorrow ding it had just been torn since she wouldn't let me touch it before but now she's getting more comfortable with me touching and checking on her. I had to clean her wound today because she got a piece of dog hair in it so there are a little bit of bubbles in the pictures below. Some of the yellow is fat, and some of it is her chick fur as I call it. It doesn't smell infected, and I keep it fairly clean.. I need more advice on what to do!!! Please!
