Help! My 10 day old baby was attacked by my dog. No injury to her body except for her eye. She seems to have a puncture right next to/behind her eye and it’s swollen and unable to close. I have her separated from the other chicks with electrolyte infused water, some crumbles, and a heat source. No vets are open- I don’t know what to do. I put bacitracin on where the wound seems to be and teramycin on her eye but she can’t close it. Pics attached. Please advise- I can’t imagine the pain she must be in. I’m so upset and don’t know what else to do for her

Poor baby! I was going to suggest teramyacin if it got infected, but I don’t know what to do about not being able to close it. Can you tell if her eyelid is still intact? Maybe she is just having trouble because it’s swollen and you’ll just have to keep it from drying out until the swelling goes down ... ? Hope she gets better!!! :fl
