We had an attack on Sunday that killed one of our chickens very brutally. We suspect it was a raccoon since we’ve seen them around here. This morning it came again. Thankfully my dad was able to run out there in time. He said the animal ran with the chick then dropped it as it went crawled underneath our shed. But he said it was too dark to distinguish the animal. The chick is around 4months old and we checked it thoroughly and only seems to have a small puncture. We cleaned it and sprayed blue-kote on it. We brought her inside as she doesn’t seem to be doing very good. She is standing and breathing very heavily and looks very laborious. She’s not panting or anything but is standing with her eyes shut. She won’t sit down. I gave her some ibrepoufen but she still looks kinda bad. Can I push her down slightly so she’ll sit? I can’t imagine standing all day What should I do? Also should I be worried that she’s staring to smell bad??

Raccoon right?
Here’s a picture of the chick that got attacked today. We brought her inside to isolate her since it looks like she doesn’t want to be bothered
Is she staring to rot because she smells bad???
