Chicken mauled by dog

You would be surprised how liquid travels through their feathers. It doesn't take a straight path. I'm not saying she doesn't have drainage. And good idea trying the packing strips. But try to keep looking for other wounds or once she's dry again try and trace back where the liquid is coming from.

I'll keep trying but she freaks out when I start poking around in her chest/belly area. Maybe she has some fractured ribs? I will continue with the dressing changes and antibiotic as long as she is eating, drinking and interacting with me. I am noticing that she's not moving much and favors her left leg. She may have a fracture in her right leg but it is not deformed/misaligned. I do appreciate all the help and suggestions as I'm really at a loss.
