Chicken with neck injury

[okokhelp]

We recently had some chicks get attacked by a dog one of the survived and had a huge gash on it neck? When we save her she was very much alert and walking. We tried giving it water but it seems that the some of the water is escaping from the gape in its neck. I’ve wrapped it with gauze and bandages while being carefuli not to bother it too much. She’s drinking water but she hasn’t eaten and the accident happened about 4 hrs ago.

Could you get some pics of her neck? Hard to help without some pictures.

Yes pictures would help greatly. Pictures of all different angles too. Any other injuries?

Do you have more than one chicken that survived?? Also I have this stuff that I used on my duck that got attacked by a hawk, and for a chicken that got a cut on her leg! It keeps other animals for pecking at it and helps the recovery!

Here are some pictures of it and it’s gnarly but we’ve covered it up with bandages and I’ve made softened food for her to eat I’m just scared she’s suffering for no reason and won’t make it

You should get this cream for it:

If you have a tractor supply or feed store near you look for this! It helps with the healing process and keeps other chickens from pecking it!
