Dog attack

[tothemoon]

I had a neighbors dog come into my yard and attack my bantam cochins. I let them out to wonder the yard for a few hours each day. The only injury I found was on my buff roo. His tail feathers had been ripped out and the skin was red and slightly bloody. I cleaned it and he acts fine, ate with his hens and jumped up on his roost. Doesnt act bothered by it at all. I checked the feathers and there was no skin on them so I assume the flesh wasnt ripped off. I hope I did everything right, I wasnt sure if triple antibiotic was ok for chickens but I rubbed a lil on anyway. He is such a sweet lil thing, one of my smallest bantams. Just breaks my heart to see him hurt. Hope your chicken does well.

had computer problems.

Sorry to say that the chcicken did not make it. Alot of blood in poo and in urine so guessing more internal injuries.

Thanks to everyone that helped. Feel bad, thought things were going great.
Thanks again
Ryan

I am sorry to hear that. You tried and did all you could. Plus you took in someone else's chicken to try and heal, I applaud your effort.
