Hi,
We got a new dog and have been training him and he squeezed through a crack in a sliding door, took me out and went after my chickens. He snagged one before I got him off of her. I have been crying for two days. She had a small cut on her back and a larger cut on her side under wing. We did a rinse of 1 gallon water, 1tbsp of bleach and 1tsp of baking soda. I feel so guilty and responsible and am so new at this we took her to the vets. She stayed the night, got stitched up and some pain meds and antibiotics. She is home now and looks good. Limping a little bit doc checked her several times and believes it’s just sore or bruised. I got a dog exercise pen, put pine shavings down with water, food and blankets for her in a room. she ate a banana and drank a ton. She looks good and seems to be doing well. Do I turn the lights off at night so it’s pitch dark in the room? Should I leave a dim light on? She payed an egg in the hospital! Is there anything else I should do or not do. I feel so guilty and am so grateful she is doing better but this is all new to me. Thank you
