Help!!!!............One of my chickens was attacked by a dog on monday late in the day .She was bit under her right wing and is missing a chunk of skin about the size of a half dollar on her back near were the tail feathers start.she is breathing heavy with a slight wheeze/noise with labored breathing..dam dog...please observe leash laws, people... I can get her to take sips of water by dipping her beak/putting drops of water on her beak....not much she will only drink a very small amount.I put tetracycline hydrocloride in the water .4 grams/pint. She is alert but in pain.Isolated her inside,just sits.cannot get her to eat.gave her yogurt --- all she does is tries to wipe/clean her beak,so very,very little yogurt actually gets eaten.should i clean the wound? If so with what?There is NO skin- can see fat tissue/muscle.I am going to try to give her some electrolyte/vitamin supplement(save a chick)made by savacaf.com..any suggestions are welcome,as my daughters and I are very sad and feel frustrated--- what else can I do to help her?
