My sweet girl Kiwi, was attacked by a dog yesterday. All of her tail and back feathers are gone. We took her to the vet and she also has 2 holes, one on her back and one in the back of her thigh, where the teeth went in, a gash on her stomach, and her thigh is shredded. They gave us three daily doses of painkillers (2 of which we have used) and a wound wash. She is desperate from the others, in a coop in the garage with a heat lamp. She is alert, and she has eaten and drank, mostly yesterday. Luckily none of the wounds have head muscles, except maybe the holes, and if they did, it was very cleanly. I'm most worried about her thigh, the fat and skin is really torn up. I will post pictures verrry soon, I just want lots of advice on how to make sure she survives and heals well. Somebody recommended Vetyricin wounds spray? (Spelling probably not right). Any other suggestions for care, warning signs, etc? This is my first time caring for an injured chicken!
