I just found your post. How is your hen this morning?

Keep it clean, keep it covered in the wound dressing you used and monitor for signs of infection. I don't like to use antibiotics unless it is clearly warranted, so unless she has an obvious infection I wouldn't bother starting her on anything. A little extra protein in her diet may help speed the healing along.

Good luck. And keep the dog tied.
