One of my chickens was attacked by the neighbors dog not half an hour ago. Sadly this is the third attack but I refuse to lose another chicken. She is acting lethargic but still alive and breathing. I don't know how to help her, we are calling our vet but don't know if they will take emergency appointments or chickens. I'm gonna add photos *warning they are pretty graphic* and I need any kind of help I can get. I am clueless on how to help her it's much worse than I know how to deal with.

Edit:we've noticed a very runny cream colored liquid coming from the wound. We think we're going to end her suffering but aren't totally sure.

I am sorry, but I cannot help you. I will say it looks like thigh I see, so I think it is a really good thing that it is not vitals showing.
I am not sure exactly how to do this, but will try to get someone here much, much more knowledgeable than me.

I could not tell you what is best. I thought I might of known how to call someone in that could help you. But, I think I do not know how. Usually, someone would be in on this fairly quick that could give you some help.
 
Make sure it doesn't get infected... Cover it up or bandage it. You should tell your neighbour about their dog, it is not okay that they are killing your birds!!!
