Chicken bit by dog- lost an eye and maybe blind

To help stabilize her in the sitting position, you could use a twisted towel and form some kind of ring around her front and sides.

I would keep her in a dog crate with food and water. Vetericyn wound spray is good to use on the wounds, and you can also follow up with plain antibiotic ointment. Try feeding her several times a day with some wet chicken feed, scrambled egg, and some also love canned cat food or tuna for some variety. Try to get her drinking water, and if she doesn’t drink enough, water added to the food can help. It could take a week or two to know how well she will recover.

Thank you!!

I would take her to the vet, if you don't she likely won't make it and will suffer or get a infection. so please if you can take her to the vet do it!!!!

How is she doing?

 

[Carefulperception]

Unfortunately she didn’t make it. We took her to a vet and he gave us some medication and a return appointment two days after. She did not improve and only deteriorated. She was euthanized this past Saturday. Exactly a year to the day when I brought her home as a chick. We buried her in her favorite spot. Vet said it was likely an infection had made its way into her brain. The entire family has been devastated, she was a big part of our lives but we’re very glad she is not in pain anymore. We wish we could have done more.

She didn’t make it. We found a vet who tired to help but there was too much damage.

I am sorry you lost her.
