Chicken attacked by dog

[chesty78]

My hen was attacked by a dog today and is not to well. Missing feather all the way Dow to raw skin plus skin cut open down back muscle showing, have her seperated from flock with heat lamp to keep her warm she is awake and will walk around but prefers to lay down and sleep. Any suggestions on what I should do.

Welcome and I'm so sorry about your girl! I had a hen attacked by a hawk in the summer. It was bad, maybe worse than yours, but I nursed her back to health. I posted in the Emergencies forum what I did and you can also read about my treatment (and success!) on my blog referenced in my signature. Feel free to PM me if you need any further details. I'll try to find the thread and post the URL here.

Best of luck to you!
