Chicken mauled by possum in the night

How is she today?

Alright everyone, I've been busy with grant writing but I'm happy to give a final update on my pullet's status.
After a week inside, she's bounced back! The five day antibiotic injections really seemed to make a difference, and she dined very well on tuna and scrambled egg. Her wounds were completely scabbed over by last Monday evening.
Eventually, she was ornery and seemed to getting some cabin fever. After two days of a "look, but don't touch" introduction and a fresh blu-kote spray on her scabs, I put her back in the coop Tuesday night after the other girls went to bed. She was so happy to be back with other chickens.
She seems to be handling outside life really well. She's lost some weight from being inside, but she's eating a lot and running around with her sisters.
I think she'll be just fine. Thank you everyone for your guidance!
