A loose dog got 3 of my chickens, 2 Australorps and 1 Red Sex Link yesterday. Anyways, 1 Australorp had a a huge 2" gash down to the muscle on its thigh. Howerver, very little blood. I cleaned up the wound and stitched the gash closed with some thread. I put antibiotic ointment on the wound and she is now doing okay. The other Australorp has no visible injuries but has a a bad limp and is noticeable sullen(rightfull so though). The Red Sex Link has puncture wounds near her tail that I could not stitch up packed it with antibotic ointment. All are eating and drinking water. I moved them outside today and under the coop to recuperate since the weather is quite nice here right now. Is there anything else I can do besides clean their wounds, watch for infection, feed and water them? Anyone else have any other advice on anything I missed?
