my chickens were attacked and I lost some but 1 was alive
she only has an injury on both sides of her face, but looks fine otherwise except 1 thing, she can't seem to stand
what do i do for her?
she eats very little and drinks some but it is like she is paralized
is there any hope?
i thought she might just be in shock, but it has been 2 days with no change
I know it was a raccoon that attacked them
thanks for the help
I just found this site as i was looking for help

she doesn't seem to have them broken when I lift her body up she tries to stand but when I let go she falls down

She's showing signs of shock, which can be fatal if untreated. Remove her to a warm place, not hot. Give her electrolytes with added sugar for the next 24 hours. She should begin to improve in just a few hours unless she has internal injuries.
 
I have been giving her electrolyte water with sugar & offering for 2 days maybe she is improving very little
is her ability to stand going to come back?

Should she not be better already?
 
She should be getting better unless there is internal injuries causing infection. You might think about starting her on an oral antibiotic since she isn't improving. Amoxicillin 250mg daily for ten days is the suggested treatment.
