Bobcat attack

I am going to soak her again this am and take a look. I will take some pics and post them for advise. I don't want her to suffer...she is trying her best though. She heard the others calling and it perks her up.
The closest vet open today is about 2 hours from me.

Keep us posted. Will look for your photos.

I’m so sorry for your loss and hope the injured one recovers!

A chicken sling might be helpful for her leg, also may help the poo fall away from the open wound, and keep it cleaner. Aspirin or ibuprofen for pain, too. I'm not sure of the doses. though. Trim all the feathers back from the edges of the wound, to help keep it cleaner.

Here is the pic from after the warm bath. There are 3 blobs in this pic. The one on the bottom was feces..i cut that off. The one on the top is the injured vent. The one in the middle is flesh. I am not sure what it is so I dodnt cut it off. When I dried her...a.spot between the top and middle blobs started bleeding a bit. I sprayed vetericyn and some Bernadine. Her appetite was better this am.

It’s on her butt, which I am assuming is her vent.. that’s why I said to soak it in epsom salt. Just use the salt, one time. If it isn’t in her ‘vent’ then disregard. You need to get any bacteria/infection out so if it’s not on the vent, flush with saline and apply the Neosporin. I hope she gets better! How is she doing today? Maybe you can give her some electrolytes.

Its definitely the vent. Looks like it's been turned inside out. I just posted a new pic. Thank you!!!
