Chick attacked by rat

[PolishAllTheWay]

I did clear it up with saline water as soon as I saw the injury.
Was going to let him rest until tomorrow then give him a check over. X

That’s probably a good plan, just make sure to keep an eye on the little guy. Is he still peeping and keeping his eyes open?

Kind of seems like it might be a spinal injury.

It sounded like the chick sat up last night though. Could that still be a spinal injury?

Oh I missed that! May be okay then, that first pic looked grim.

Yeah he is. Had to pop out and he’s moved from where he was when I left him.
just hoping it’s shock mainly and can recover x

It is struggling to hold its head up. Is it treatable? I don’t want him to suffer unnecessarily, x

I know it looked very close to death, but it sounds a lot better.

It usually can’t hold its head up at all if it’s a spinal injury

I really hope so
