Chicken attacked by raccoon

[Conkright]

Hi, we had a raccoon attack a couple of our chickens last night. One didn’t make it, the other has a pretty big piece of skin missing under one wing. I’ve clean her up and got her in a private space. Does anyone know if she’s likely to recover? Can she regrow the skin or cover with scar tissue? She’s not actively bleeding and is very alert, having trouble walking though. Is euthanasia a better choice? Chances of infection?

Hi! I'm so sorry! Can you post pictures? First treat for shock, semi dark place with sweetened water, clean the wound with saline, trim feathers, and slather the wound with plain antibiotic ointment. Repeat twice a day for a week. She'll be a greasy mess but it will help her heal.
