Dog attacks

[LizThumm]

Recently my boss has given me one of her silver laced chickens because it wasn’t doing too well with her… I agree see to take it in and when I looked at it the first time I thought it might’ve just had depression or have been under the weather. I’ve had a much closer look now and I can tell that it’s been attacked by dogs, there’s puncture wounds pieces of flesh torn out and skin missing from the flesh. These wounds seem about 2-4 weeks old and so far I’ve treated them with alcohol spray, antibacterial cream mixed with Vaseline and then a bandage over the top. I’ve quarantined her away from my other flock but is there anything else I can do for her?

When my neighbors dog attacked mine she got my girl good. I kept her in the house cleaned her wounds a couple times a day with warm water and mild soap and used the antibiotic cream I covered the puncture wounds as best as I could. I didn’t know about the wound spray then but what I did worked. Oh I also before cream put peroxide on clean towel and dabbed it on the wounds after water n soap. She did good. Good luck
