Hi everyone,
Our neighbors dog attacked our chickens! I came out to find an Alaskin Malmute with my 11 week old Light Brahma in his mouth. He dropped him as I approached and to my suprise is still alive. He has been very quiet.. I was able to get him to drink yet still hasnt eaten.. I found two small punctures that dont seem to be deep and treated them. However! His one leg is injured, he hasnt been able to use it yet it does not appear to be broken! One of the punctures is above and slightly back from were the leg begins... He has become a little bit more alert but still doesnt put any weight on his leg... So he just lays there. What should i do, what are his chances, what could be wrong??? Please help!
All of our flock scattered it took all afternoon to find them all! But they are all accounted for...
 
I would put some vitamins/electrolites in his drinking water, and maybe boil some eggs and see if he'll eat the chopped egg yolks.

He may be a bit shocky, and his muscle may hurt where the dog clamped down on him. Keep him in a nice clean crate with some soft bedding, someplace quiet and cool with the lights down low so he can rest. He may come around just fine.

Good luck to you and your chicken,
Sharon
