my dog got ahold of one of our 10 month old chickens this morning. We thought she didn’t make it, and when my husband went back to get her she was up and hobbling around. She is alert and responsive. About 15min after the accident she ate some of their cracked corn. Her wing is broken for sure, the bone is exposed. I cleaned the area(wing and neck) with hydrogen peroxide once and then cleaned debris from areas and rinsed with a lot of sterile saline to make sure it was cleaned as good as possible. I put ointment I had from when I worked in the vet clinic that is prescription strength on it and wrapped her wing to her body like it would normally sit if it wasn’t broken. And I put a piece of gauze over her chest wound.
MY BIGGEST QUESTION IS: how will her wing heal if I am unable to place her bones back together!?!? HELP!!
