Dog attack! (Graphic Pictures)

[Ccort]

The yellow is fatty tissue (think about when you are cooking a raw chicken,) and the black marks are feather shafts that have broken off. I would keep it clean with saline, and twice a day apply some Neosporin/triple antibiotic ointment. That should heal if infection is not a problem.

Hi again. You helped me with Maybelle as well, if you didn't remember.
Thank you for your help! Will she grow her feathers back eventually?

My experience with treating severe wounds on birds is quite limited (not complaining about that).

It has been 25 years in fact since I had to treat a severe wound. A duck had been attacked and was missing nearly half her breast. That one I cleaned, sewed, gave antibiotics, kept clean and hoped for her to recover. In the end she did recover but never could fully control that wing.

Ok that said I have spent a decade reading here and have followed numerous threads about grave injuries including several scalped birds and ones with no skin left on their backs. In those threads I have seen the yellow skin. It is usually bruising that is healing. The black spots I am not sure what is going on there.

Perhaps a few more knowledgeable people can pop in and take a look.
@Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @azygous would any of you kind people be available to take a look at the pics above and offer treatment advice?

Thank you for all your help! It's nice to hear stories of others making it through this too. I seem to be off to a very rough start as a chicken mom

She's having really good poops now

Update....she has this area that is yellow (you can see that area in the other photos
) But it looks like an empty blister? But I see no pus.

Great! I'm so happy for to hear that!

I didn't see a picture come through!

Take a nice deep sniff of it, make sure there's no bad smell, the wound looks good though, not red and enflamed or oozy.

I don't smell anything.

These injuries take forever to fully heal. She is hanging in there and you are doing all you can to help her.

I don't think she will ever be fully feathered in but so far so good.

Will it end up being a scab that peels off?
