Brown leghorn, 6 months old layer was attacked by dog. Large wound on neck where feathers were pulled out, seems ok. The bigger issue is her tail was pretty much pulled off. Larger wound, but not much bleeding I've cleaned it with peroxide. She's eating and pooping fine, I have her in the bathroom with the AC on to keep her out of the heat of the day.
Should I try to keep her in the house for the night or return her to her 'sister' hens who are a little shaken, but ok and looking for her.
Is there any other wound care I should be doing, the neck wound I also used some tea tree ointment.
Thanks
