Hello I am new here. I'm reaching out in hopes that somebody can give me some advice. About 4 days ago one of my girls was attacked by a random dog. She had a couple puncture wounds along with a broken wing, and leg fracture. We were unsure if we should keep her alive but she was eating drinking and pooping. thankfully we decided to keep her alive as she is doing very well compared to when I found her. However she still can barely walk but can get around slowly, and her wing hangs. So far I have put her in a separate crate and when I let her roam outside for short periods I am by her side making sure she's not getting attacked. I have tried on two separate occasions to introduce her to her fellow mates but I quickly have to intervene to prevent her from being attacked. I do believe she will be fine and she will make it. But she is lonely. My worry is that she won't get to be 100% normal again, leaving her to be constantly viewed as "sick" from the others. Has anybody experienced this? If so does this type of behavior go away or should I re-introduce her to a new family. I really don't want to I am very attached to her but I don't want to be selfish and keep her if she's not happy.
