My poor baby hen just got attacked by a dog and I am just fuuuming over it. She's in the middle of a molt and is already stressed out. I haven't had a chance to look her over much because she is soooo stressed and uncoordinated but I did for a decent wound on her back. I don't think it got the muscle but there could be more wounds I don't know about. Should I look her over good or let her rest and look later.
I just rinsed he with betadine and water and she's in a laundry basket covered up. What else can I do at this point. Should I try feeding her or giving her water or just let her rest? How does her prognosis look? Does her molting make her weaker to fight this?![Frown :( :(](/styles/byc-smilies/sad.png)
This is my absolute favorite pet I have, I raised her from a baby and she's 4 and I only have had 4 others that came and went quickly so I need to do everything I can!!
