Can I save her!?? Help!!!

[WoodlandWoman]

If she makes it, I would definitely plan on putting her on oral antibiotics, to prevent an internal infection, after all that exposure to the outside. Poor hen. You are so kind to take her in for your little neighbor. I hope you are both still hanging in there this morning.

That is the proper product which should be used ... there is also an equivalent product sold for horses (I will have to look up the link...will do that when I get back...the product is at my board in the emergency section under INJURIES (gotta run to the store will post it when I get back)

This is just a little to think about. With her insides open to all the outside contaminates she will most likely get an infection. If you are able to get the wound sealed leave an area open for drainage. If you seal the wound completely it will seal IN the infection.

Oh jeeze, I just read this...I'm sorry for that little girl and her bird.
DOOM ON LOOSE DOGS!!!
The internal organs need to be put back where they belong. It helps to keep them moist and she may not get an internal infection.

Still thinking of you, the little girl and her precious hen.
