Some stray dogs got into my yard yesterday and attacked my chooks they killed two hens and injured one other. The injured hen has a large wound on her backside, I flushed it with iodine and gently scrubbed the dirt and debris ou then spayed vetericyn on it. I cleaned it up this morning again. My question is this; despite the fact that her wound is on her rear there is a punctured wound that I can hear her breathing through and see air pass through. I thought perhaps she had punctured a lung but there are no wounds anywhere else, her breathing was pretty labored yesterday but as she calmed down it slowed to normal. Has anyone had anything like this happen? Did the bird survive? She is drinking this morning and was trying to stand.
