Dog got one

[Karuh]

I have an australorp missing a lot of feathers but no puncture wounds or significant bleeding. Should I separate her or is she fine since there’s no wounds really?

How long ago did the attack happen? Did you treat her for shock? How is she acting?

Ooh I am curious now, what do you mean by treat for shock?

After an attack it's very common for birds to go into shock afterwards. Most of the time it's more important to treat for shock first before addressing other injuries. Even if there isn't a lot or any physical damage done the trauma can make any wounds worse or even kill the bird. Birds in shock will often appear stunned, unresponsive to touch, weak, have pale or discolored combs and wattles, and heavy breathing. To treat for shock, it's recommended to bring the bird into a dark, warm, quiet room where they can rest undisturbed. Offer the bird electrolytes or sugar water to help revive them and increase blood flow. Once the bird starts becoming more alert, which can take a few hours, you can offer them something to eat. I usually give mash or scrambled egg.

Best pic I could get most got her tail/back feathers. She was quite freaked out. I stuck her back in the coop and she just laid down on her back feet in the air. So I kenneled her and stuck her in a cool dark closet

Oh cool thanks! I don't see any open wounds there for I wound assume the other chickens shouldn't pester her.
