Dog injured 10 week pullet

[emmaro]

No pictures at the moment as I’m trying to treat my pullet. My dog got access to my 10 week pullet. One minor surface puncture wound and air accumulating on her back. She’s walking fine and no other obvious injuries. Please help. I’m new to this!

Do you mean air is accumulating under her skin? Is the puncture on her left side?

Clean the wound and put some antibiotic ointment on it. Should be without pain reliever. Honey is also healing.

I'm concerned about the air. A rabid raccoon grabbed one of my girls a couple of years ago. She seemed fine but the raccoons finger (I guess) punctured her air sac.

There are surface level (not much past the skin) wounds on both sides but the one that got the most blood was on the right side of her neck. There wasn’t a lot of blood coming from any of the punctures. The air is on the left side

The air is probably a punctured air sac, will heal with time don’t panic but antibiotics for bite wounds are recommended.

Thank you so much for giving me peace of mind!! I’m so new to this and was so worried for my girl!!

I would cover the puncture to create a seal until the tissue can heal. The air shouldn't be leaking out. My girl did not survive it but it was deep.
