Chicken attacked by coyote.

[Thea01]

My chicken was attacked by a coyote. She cannot lift her head. I put her in a box with towels & a heat light. She made it through the night. She took some water from a dropper this morning. I didn't see any wounds last night but found a puncture wound this morning on her back & 2 other marks where the skin was broken. I cleaned the wounds with saline & put antibacterial/antimicrobial spray on them. Then I dried that & put Neosporin & lightly bandaged the wounds. Now I noticed a clear fluid coming from her nostrils. I don't know what this fluid means nor do I know much about chicken care as these are my elderly fathers' chickens & I have just recently taken over their care. Any help you can provide will be extremely appreciated. Thank you.

Could you please give us some pictures?

I didn't take pictures but can when I change the bandage later. Did you want pictures of the wound, the nostrils, or the whole chicken?

All of it close and far would be greatly appreciated

All of it close and far would be greatly appreciated

I can’t upload photos from my phone because it crashes as soon as I hit the attach files button. I’ll have to post the photos tonight once I get home. I’m at my fathers house now trying to help the chicken but don’t really know what to do.
