I have a hen that was attacked by a dog two days ago, at the moment she is doing fine and eating and drinking water but I feel that this situation could take a turn for the worst! She no longer has a tail and hair tail bone is showing a lot she has some loose pieces of flesh on her sides under her wings and she has made it purple from pecking at it... Please help if you have any advice this is my cousins chicken and we are both very close to her, I really want her to live

Poor thing. Can you post a few pics so Doc.0 @Isaac 0 can have a look and better be able to help you.

I might post a picture later today but right now my only device that takes pictures is dead, sorry. I really do want to take pictures but I am unable to at the moment.

You also mentioned that you're giving her an antibiotic, right? What antibiotic is she taking? By mouth?

 

[Bunbun0412]

No, we just got storebought silvesorb gel and we are putting it on the wound to eliminate and kill any infection.

I'll go ahead and tag some of the experts.

She'll likely need antibiotics given by mouth or injection, but I'll leave that to our amazing experts. I'm rooting for her to make a full recovery

I am not 100% positive that I will be posting pictures because I am busy this evening but I will truly try my best. And I am not sure how to tag them.

Hi from Germany
you can use Manuka Honey for the wound. And something like metacam against the pain. Please dont use peroxid. Antibiotica to make sure she wont get any other illness
