19 wk old 'lorp dog attack

[mom2punkadus]

Our Basset hound got to one of our hens. She only has a tiny cut on her comb but lots of feathers lost. She's acting like she's in shock- eyes closed heavy, rattley breathing, and just laying down. But did run away when I first approached (thinking she was dead). I'm spoon feeding water with acv bit unless she's drinking she's just laying with her eyes closed. Anything else I should be doing?

Treat her for shock. Gatorade mixed with water. ACV won't help with shock. Keep her warm in a quiet area with food and water. Give her a few hours and if she is not walking eating etc give her a drink and see if she will eat any treats like grapes cut into quarters or blueberry, strawberry etc. The fruit has a lot of water especially grapes and nourishment. It mite take her a few days to come out of it. She will most likely stop laying eggs so don't be surprised and think she is eggbound.

be OK.
